Revision of Gallery Numbers in the Honkan
Overview
Tokyo National Museum in Ueno will change the gallery numbers in its Honkan (Japanese Gallery) from Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
Tokyo National Museum is one of the Ueno area's leading cultural institutions and has several exhibition buildings, including the Honkan. This revision covers the numbering system for the galleries in the Honkan and takes effect on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
Visitors usually rely on gallery numbers, along with floor maps and signs, to follow the suggested route or find a particular gallery. Gallery numbers also appear on signs throughout the museum, in printed materials and in the exhibition information on the official website. Anyone planning a visit will want to know about the change.
The information released so far does not give the new numbering system, which galleries are affected or why the change is being made. If you plan to visit, check the latest information on the official website first.
Admission fees, the end date and the facility's address have not been announced yet either. Tokyo National Museum is expected to post more details on its official website.
