What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Tokyo National Museum brings Japanese art and archaeology together on a museum campus in Ueno. Its galleries also include Asian art, allowing visitors to compare objects, materials and traditions across different collections rather than following one single exhibition route.
Choose the galleries or exhibition that interest you before buying a ticket. Collection displays and special exhibitions have different admission arrangements, and the works on view change. Consult the museum's visit information and follow the photography guidance posted for each gallery or object.
