Tokyo National Museum 150th anniversary

In March 2022, the Tokyo National Museum will welcome its 150th anniversary. To celebrate, many commemorative exhibitions and events will be held over the year starting from April. 

The main attraction is the special exhibition “National Treasures - The Complete Tokyo National Museum(TBC),” which will be held from 18 October to 11 December 2022. 

This is the first time in the history of the museum that all 89 of its national treasures will be on display!

Tokyo National Museum will be celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2022.

TNM began with a historic exhibition in 1872, and since then has always pursued its core mission of protecting cultural properties and passing them down to future generations. These properties, entrusted to us by our ancestors, are humanity’s treasures.

In 2022, we will take another step forward with the hope of connecting past and present, and bringing society closer together. We will be sharing with even wider audiences the fascination of cultural properties and the excitement of visiting TNM, while reflecting on our 150 years of history.

This is a new beginning for us and our collections that we invite you to participate in through upcoming events and exhibitions.
