In the Ueno area, in commemoration of International Museum Day on May 18th, 13 facilities around Ueno Park, including museums, art galleries, and the zoo, will cooperate with Ueno Norenkai member stores to hold Ueno Museum Week. The popular digital stamp rally will continue this year, as it did last year, and the newly renovated new spot, Shitamachi Museum, will be added, making this a special week that is even more appealing. Combine this with the annual “Town Fun” coupon and enjoy this special time when the whole of Ueno becomes a theme park full of art.<\/p>\n

As expected, the biggest attraction this time is the “free admission” that will be held on “International Museum Day” on May 18th. On that day, you can enjoy free admission to the permanent exhibitions of five museums: Tokyo National Museum, National Museum of Nature and Science, National Museum of Western Art, Former Tokyo Music School Concert Hall, and Shitamachi Museum (\u203bTokyo National Museum’s Tokyo National Museum Collection Exhibition is included).<\/p>\n

Another highlight is the digital stamp rally! There will be 15 stamp points in the Ueno area, from cultural facilities in Ueno Park to various spots in the Ueno shopping district!<\/p>\n

Rally points include not only the cultural facilities within the park, but also spots within the city where you can experience art, such as CREATIVE HUB UENO \u201ces\u201d (Ueno Station), a gallery created by renovating the site of the former police box at Ueno Station, Lloyd Works Gallery, which brings together up-and-coming artists, Buzzchika (located in the basement of Shinobuzz Brewery Hitsuji Ice), which not only holds art exhibitions but also frequently hosts theater performances, and Room 101 (Hanazono Alley), where young art creators gather.<\/p>\n

Please come and enjoy the atmosphere of Ueno, the city of art, during International Museum Day and the stamp rally.<\/p>\n

The stamp rally rewards include a Morimachi coupon that can be used at gourmet and shopping stores in the Ueno area if you collect zero stamps, a digital art piece created in collaboration with creators if you collect three stamps, and the right to enter a lottery for prizes from participating cultural facilities if you collect seven stamps. If you visit 15 stamp locations, your chances of winning the prizes at the seven locations will double. Be sure to try to complete the rally!<\/p>\n

\u25a0What is International Museum Day? \u25a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

“International Museum Day” is a museum commemoration day established by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) in 1977. Commemorative events are held at museums around the world on and around May 18th with the aim of familiarizing many people with museums and raising awareness of the role of museums. Ueno, which is rare even on an international level in terms of the large number of cultural facilities such as museums and art galleries gathered there, holds various commemorative events every year around “International Museum Day” as “Ueno Museum Week”, held by cultural facilities and the Ueno Noren Association.<\/p>\n

\u25a0Ueno Norenkai\u25a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ueno, the cloud of flowers, is the representative entertainment district of this part of Edo. It is the source of art and culture of this part of the Meiji period. The Ueno Noren Association is a federation of about 100 famous stores in Ueno. Since its founding in 1959 (Showa 34), it has been publishing the town magazine “Ueno” every month with the aim of rediscovering the cultural traditions of this area. This is the 785th issue (as of May 2025).<\/p>\n
