Welcome to the labyrinth of beauty woven by art and light, "Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum"!

Surrounded by the greenery of Ueno Onshi Park, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum was established in 1975 as Japan's first public art museum. You can enjoy a wide variety of exhibitions from both Japan and abroad, and it is popular not only as a place to "view" art but also to "experience" it. The museum has an open and inviting atmosphere where anyone can drop by casually, creating a space where the world of art feels more accessible.

What deserves special attention is the world of art that extends outside the museum as well!
The outdoor sculptures installed in the garden are all captivating works that will make you want to stop and take a closer look.

- "Mobius Cube" / Kyubei Shimizu: The cube shape twists continuously, creating a mysterious structure that suggests an infinite loop. The impression changes depending on the viewing angle, making you lose track of time as you gaze at it.

- "Three Cubes" / Vasarely: Geometric yet somehow rhythmic. Within the simple shapes lies a profound visual playfulness, making it perfect for photos!

- "Three Rectangular Prisms" / Noe Aoki: A delicate balance that conveys softness within the coldness of metal. Reflecting the garden’s greenery and the color of the sky, this piece changes its expression with the seasons and time of day.

- "My Sky Hole: Light and Shadow" / Takekichi Inoue: An inverted concept of looking up at the sky through a hole seemingly cut into the ground. The sunlight and movement of clouds merge with the artwork, making it a place where you can truly experience "light and shadow."

In the heart of the city, enjoy a luxurious moment where nature and art harmonize. The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is truly a "museum to experience with your whole body," offering enjoyment not only indoors but also in the outdoor spaces. When you come to Ueno, be sure to embark on a journey of the heart and senses.
