Exhibition in other locations, “Visiting Exhibition by the Edo-Tokyo Museum”

The Edo-Tokyo Museum opened its doors on March 28, 1993, as a space to reflect on the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo and to envision the city and life in the future. Since then, we have had many visitors not only from Japan but also from all over the world.
Thirty years have passed, and we are now undergoing a major renovation, for which reason we will be closed until sometime in the spring of 2026 (planned). However, we are pleased to announce that, similarly to last year, we will be holding an exhibition to showcase some of our permanent collections at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in Ueno.
The exhibition will present a part of our permanent exhibitions across the LB and 1st floors. The exhibits include our popular interactive replicas such as the “Box for gold coins” and “Rickshaw,” and other related materials. There will also be a special exhibition on the 2nd floor, which introduces the history of Ueno, where the exhibition is held, through nishiki-e (colored woodblock prints) and postcards. Enjoy seeing the townscape of Ueno evolving over time.
We hope these exhibitions will provide an opportunity to experience the charm of the Edo-Tokyo Museum, as well as the history and culture of Edo-Tokyo, through a wide range of our collections.
