[Ueno] Hideyo Noguchi 150th Birth Anniversary Special Exhibition "The Challenge of Infectious Diseases: Past, Present and Future" opens October 27 at the National Museum of Nature and Science!
Overview
The special exhibition "The Challenge of Infectious Diseases: Past, Present and Future" will be held at the National Museum of Nature and Science in Ueno from Tuesday, October 27, 2026 to Sunday, February 28, 2027. The exhibition commemorates the 150th anniversary of Hideyo Noguchi's birth.
As its title suggests, the exhibition spans three timeframes: past, present and future. Rather than focusing on a single era, it appears to explore infectious diseases, a challenge shared by all humanity, across the flow of time. Held in this milestone anniversary year and bearing Noguchi's name, the exhibition offers a fresh opportunity to reflect on the theme of "the challenge of infectious diseases."
The exhibition runs for about four months, from autumn through winter until the end of February the following year. Because it spans the new year, it's easy to fit a visit into your schedule. Stop by during an autumn stroll around Ueno, or plan it as an outing for the winter holidays or the new year.
The National Museum of Nature and Science is one of the Ueno area's signature institutions. If you're visiting Ueno, consider adding this exhibition to your itinerary. Be sure to check upcoming announcements for admission fees and details on the exhibits.
