Planned in celebration of the Tokyo National Museum’s 150th anniversary, this exhibition will comprehensively introduce the Museum through its masterpieces and historical records, including all eighty-nine National Treasures. Approximately 150 artworks and other objects will be exhibited in two parts.
“Part One: The National Treasures of Tokyo National Museum” will showcase eighty-nine National Treasures, with rotations midway. This kind of exhibition has never been attempted in the Museum’s 150-year history and promises to be a historic event worthy of this anniversary year. “Part Two: 150 Years at Tokyo National Museum” will present the Museum’s history—which is synonymous with museum history in Japan—through artworks, records, reproduction exhibits, and videos from the past, with two rotations midway.
Tokyo National Museum is the oldest and largest museum in Japan. In addition to displaying many important artworks, this exhibition will introduce the Museum from multiple angles, such as by presenting its efforts to conserve and exhibit tangible cultural heritage. With an engaging format and exhibition space, "Tokyo National Museum: Its History and National Treasures" will be a stage for new discoveries for regular and first-time visitors alike.
Open on a public holiday Monday but closed on the following day. Closed during the New Year holidays.
