The Tobira Project is a social design project based in museums which fosters communities through art. The project comprises art communicators (called “Tobira”) from all walks of life, curators and university educators, and experts working on the front line.

Working in partnership with 9 cultural and educational facilities located around Ueno Park, this “Learning Design Project” encourage children to make their “Museum Debut,” as well as creating an environment in which children and adults can learn from one another.

We provide older adults with participatory programs, aiming to build a society where older adults can maintain a sense of social connection and well-being.

We announce the information of School Visits and programs for School Teachers. We have some programs for School children and teachers. Please check the website of “Museum Start i-Ueno”.

“Special Day for People with Disabilities” are held on days of the closed day of the Special Exhibitions, so that they can view artworks safely and comfortably. Prior application is needed for the viewing events, which are held on once in every Special Exhibitions.

Participants stroll around the museum guided by art communicators (called “Tobira”).

Here, you can download current or past publications distributed by the Museum. “Junior Guide” of exhibitions designed for the young people, a “Tobikan Feature Map” introducing the museum building, and other fun and interesting leaflets are posted in sequence for downloading.
