博物馆的细节反映了设计师为开拓新领域所做的创新努力，比如由空间框架组成的倾斜玻璃墙的新颖外观，所用材料的保暖，特别是Magny Doré石灰石和彩色混凝土，以及在最佳条件下展出和收藏艺术品的系统。

The museum's details reflect the designer's innovative endeavor to break new ground, as with the novel appearance of sloped glass walls composed of space frames, the warmth of the materials used, especially the Magny Doré limestone and colored concrete, and the systems for exhibiting and housing works of art under the optimum conditions.

当他第一次参观博物馆所在的遗址时，他被感动地宣布：“这是香格里拉。”他用中国故事“桃花谷”表达了自己的想法。小山美和女士是美和博物馆(Miho Museum)的创办人，小山美子立即同意了他的想法。

Upon visiting the site on which the museum now stands for the first time, he was moved to declare, "This is Shangri-La." He expressed his own idea by using the Chinese tale “Peach Blossom Valley” to Ms. Mihoko Koyama, the founder of the Miho Museum, and she was immediately in consonance with his idea.

中国东部曾经住着一个渔夫。有一天，当他在一条山间小溪上划船时，他遇到了一个盛开的桃园。在果园的尽头，他注意到一束光线从山脚下的一个小山洞里射来。进去后，他发现自己走在一条狭窄的道路上，但走得更深，一片壮丽的景色突然展现在他面前。有香格里拉。

There once lived a fisherman in Eastern China. One day, as he was rowing up a mountain stream, he came across a peach orchard in full bloom. At the end of the orchard, he noticed a ray of light coming from a small cave at the foot of a mountain. Once inside, he found himself on a narrow road, but traveling deeper, a splendid view suddenly opened before him. There was the Shangri-La.

只有爬上一条缓缓倾斜的小径，两旁长满绿树，穿过隧道，跨过一座桥，才能找到美和博物馆。博物馆是那一刻的表达，是博物馆突然进入你的眼睛的那一刻。就像剧本一样。

Only after climbing a gently sloping path lined with verdant trees, passing through a tunnel, and crossing a bridge can the Miho Museum be found. The museum is the expression of that moment, the moment that the museum suddenly comes into your eyes. It is just like a script.
