Overview
The special display "Activities of the National Museum of Western Art Volunteer Staff" is now being held at the National Museum of Western Art in Ueno. Presented within the museum's permanent collection galleries, it introduces the activities of the National Museum of Western Art's volunteer staff.
Museum exhibitions tend to focus on the artworks themselves, but this special display shines a light on the people involved with the museum. Its theme is the work of the volunteer staff active at the museum. It offers a chance to discover a side of the museum that visitors rarely think about.
The display is located within the permanent collection galleries, so you can stop by as you make your way through them. Along with viewing works from the collection, why not take a look at the activities that support the museum?
Running from March 28, 2026 to January 11, 2027, the display has a long run, making it easy to fit into a visit to Ueno. It ends on January 11, 2027, so if you're interested, be sure to visit while it's on.
