■About the Tokyo National Museum
The Tokyo National Museum was born on March 10, 1872, when the Museum Bureau of the Ministry of Education held its first exposition at Yushima Seido Taiseiden. Shortly after opening, the museum moved to Uchiyamashita-cho, and then moved to Ueno Park in 1882, where it remains today. The museum will celebrate its 150th anniversary in March 2022, and various commemorative special exhibitions are being held daily.
It has a wide variety of exhibition halls, including the main building and Hyokeikan, on a vast site full of greenery. There are so many exhibits that you can't see them all in one day, stimulating your intellectual curiosity.
