Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

Dale Rowan in the last week

When we went every gallery was Japanese calligraphy. As Anglo tourists who can't read Japanese so most of the experience was lost on us. Entry was free. Building is interesting. So not much to loose by going. Especially if you are already in Ueno Park visiting the other museums.

Next to the special exhibitions that have an entrance fee, a good part of the museum shows pieces from art collectives, undergraduate and graduate art students. Hence, there is a great variety of art forms on display (paintings, fashion, sculptures, performances, etc.) for free. Besides galleries, this is probably one of the best addresses in Tokyo to get a glimpse into the young, contemporary art scene.

A very nice museum at a walking distance from the JR Ueno station and Tokyo National museum. I saw the 'Rome: The Eternal City' exhibition which was pretty amazing. There are 3 restaurants and some vending machines in the premises. Also, you can use the 100¥ lockers after the entrance, if you don't want to lug around your bags throughout the exhibition.

This museum has a very lovely space. I went to the info counter to decide where I will go because there isn’t permanent exhibitions and the theme changes. Right now they have a special from Rome and also “From the Depths of Ueno” by Tamana Araki. Decided to go to the local artist. Entrance to the museum is free. Some exhibitions may require paid entrance which one can purchase at the entrance.
