Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum Pamphlet (July 2025 ~ December 2025 Edition) Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum 8-36 Ueno Park, Taito-ku, Tokyo 110-0007 The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum opened in 1926 (Taisho 15) as Japan's first public art museum. It hosts numerous exhibitions throughout the year, including special exhibitions where you can enjoy masterpieces from Japan and abroad, as well as a variety of independently planned exhibitions and open-call exhibitions by art organizations. In addition, the museum is not just a place to view art, but also aims to connect people with art, people with people, and people with places, fostering a community through art. It implements the "Art Communication Project" and other initiatives, serving as a "gateway to art" through various activities. The current building, designed by Kunio Maekawa, a master of Japanese modernist architecture, opened in 1975 (Showa 50). The harmony between the urban space and the nature of Ueno Park is attractive and is one of the highlights. Admission is free, so you can easily visit the restaurants, cafes, and museum shop inside the building. #TokyoMetropolitanArtMuseum #KunioMaekawa
