Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum has announced extended Friday opening hours for its current exhibition 'Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum 100th Anniversary: Landscapes of This Place—Ueno, Omuta, Buenos Aires'. According to the museum’s notice, the exhibition will remain open until 8 pm on Fridays, with last admission at 7:30 pm.
The announcement was made as a practical update for visitors planning to see the centennial exhibition outside regular daytime hours. The museum described the cooler indoor environment as a reason to consider an evening visit, especially for viewers who want to spend more time with individual works.
The exhibition itself centers on the museum’s 100th anniversary and brings together the locations named in its title: Ueno, Omuta and Buenos Aires. The notice does not provide further curatorial details, but it identifies the project as a special exhibition connected to the museum’s centenary programming.
Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, known in Japanese as Tokyo-to Bijutsukan and commonly referred to as Tobikan, is one of Tokyo’s major public art institutions. The museum’s social media message frames the evening opening as an accommodation for visitors who prefer a slower pace and a quieter viewing experience.
No additional schedule changes were included in the announcement beyond the Friday extension. Visitors are advised only that admission closes at 7:30 pm and the galleries remain open until 8 pm on those days.
The museum’s notice leaves the rest of the exhibition’s timetable unchanged, while highlighting the Friday night window as a specific option for viewing 'Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum 100th Anniversary: Landscapes of This Place—Ueno, Omuta, Buenos Aires'.
