Exhibitions

The exhibition “Welcome to Art Communication Programs” has been held since 2023 with the aim of widely promoting the activities of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum's Art Communication programs. This year, its fourth, a year marking the Museum’s 100th Anniversary, the exhibition will focus on the Art Communication programs’ fundamental purpose—“Spending Time Together, Experiencing Art, Sharing Our Thoughts”—seeking to unlock its richness and meaning.
For this exhibition, Yasuhiro Moriuchi, a filmmaker who shoots video recordings of the Art Communication programs, will re-edit past archival videos and undertake a video installation. Moriuchi’s installation will portray people of all ages and backgrounds meeting at the art museum, spending time and viewing artworks together, and fostering new discoveries and relationships. At the exhibition venue, art communicators (“Tobira”) will be on hand to welcome visitors. Additionally displayed will be the graduation art projects and related works of two of the students selected from the “2025 Tokyo University of the Arts Graduation Works Exhibition” for interviews by Tobira posted on the Tobira Project “Tokyo University of the Arts Student Interviews” website.
By creating a place where visitors and Tobira can spend time together and enjoy exchange through art, we aspire to become an art museum that fosters culture within the interaction of diverse people. This exhibition will reexamine the Museum’s pursuit of its ideal—to be a “doorway to art open to all people”—and think about how art museums should be in the future.
