Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum opened in 1926 as Japan's first public art museum. Throughout the year, it hosts numerous exhibitions, including special exhibitions showcasing renowned works from both Japan and abroad, diverse planned exhibitions, and public exhibitions. Additionally, it runs "Art Communication Projects" that connect people with artworks and with one another, serving as a gateway to the world of art. The building, designed by Kunio Maekawa, is another highlight, as it harmoniously blends urban space with the natural beauty of Ueno Park. Admission to the permanent exhibition space is free, and visitors can also enjoy the café and shop without any hassle (note that some special exhibitions may require an entry fee).
