Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is marking its 100th anniversary with a special exhibition titled 'Views of This Place: Ueno, Omuta, and Buenos Aires,' according to the museum’s exhibition page and social media notice. The museum’s announcement also points visitors to a related ticket offer linked to another exhibition, allowing general visitors and people aged 65 and over to enter for 100 yen when presenting a ticket for 'British Museum Japanese Art Collection: Radiant Flowers—Edo Paintings Crossing the Sea' at the entrance to 'Views of This Place.'
The anniversary exhibition is identified on the museum’s official site as '100th Anniversary of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum: Views of This Place－Ueno, Omuta, and Buenos Aires.' The page gives the run dates as July 23 to October 7, and lists the venue as the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum’s Galleries A, B and C. The museum’s post highlights the exhibition entrance itself as the place where the cross-ticket discount applies.
The linked exhibition materials frame 'Views of This Place' as an anniversary project built around place and memory, with the full title bringing together Ueno, Omuta and Buenos Aires. The official page also shows one work associated with the presentation, Seigo Egami’s 'Garden at My Cousin’s House,' dated around 1931 and held in a private collection. Beyond that, the source material does not provide a fuller checklist or interpretive statement, so the exhibition’s content can only be described in the terms given by the museum.
The museum’s discount notice is brief but specific. It says that presenting a ticket for 'British Museum Japanese Art Collection: Radiant Flowers—Edo Paintings Crossing the Sea' at the entrance to 'Views of This Place' entitles general visitors and visitors aged 65 and older to a 100-yen admission price, described as the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum’s 100th anniversary rate. The announcement uses a celebratory tone, but the verified details are limited to the offer itself rather than any broader campaign or partnership statement.
Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, also known as Tobikan, is one of Tokyo’s major public art institutions and uses its official website and X account to circulate exhibition information and visitor notices. In this case, the museum’s channels connect the anniversary exhibition with a practical admission incentive, while keeping the two exhibitions distinct: 'Views of This Place' is the main anniversary show, and 'British Museum Japanese Art Collection: Radiant Flowers—Edo Paintings Crossing the Sea' appears only as the ticket source for the discounted entry.
According to the official exhibition page, 'Views of This Place: Ueno, Omuta, and Buenos Aires' runs from July 23 to October 7 in Galleries A, B and C at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.
