Metropolitan Art museum, founded in 1926, has been home to exhibitions
of a wide variety of Japanese art organizations for over seventy years.
The museum holds two kinds of exhibitions: one consists of the works of
contemporary artists and is exposed in Rental Galleries. The other part
is Museum Gallery, which hosts art exhibitions from abroad organized in
cooperation with newspaper and TV companies. After the renovation of its
building in 1975, special exhibitions planned by the curators were held
in addition to those exhibitions of contemporary Japanese artists groups
in the rental galleries. The museum provides art lectures and workshops,
and its art library is open for public.
