At a Glance

MOMAT explores modern Japanese art through changing displays of painting, sculpture and photography beside Tokyo’s Kitanomaru Park. The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo brings works from its collection into dialogue across several gallery floors.

Check the current display list if you hope to see a particular work, because the selection changes. Special exhibitions occupy a separate gallery and have their own admission terms, while collection viewing offers a different route through the museum. Takebashi Station’s Exit 1b is about a three-minute walk away.

How do I visit?

Reservation

Not required

Know before you go

  • Choose collection or special-exhibition admission before buying. The Takehisa Yumeji exhibition (23 October 2026–11 January 2027) includes same-day collection entry, so avoid buying both unnecessarily. Its advance-discount sale ended 22 October; ordinary tickets continue from 23 October. Collection entry is free on 3 November, but that does not make the special exhibition free.
