Hiroshima Museum of Art is highlighting the 70th anniversary of Miffy with an exhibition titled ‘MuFi-70: 70th Anniversary Miffy Exhibition’. The museum announced the project in a post that introduced one of its main attractions: a look across all 32 picture-book works in the Miffy series.
The announcement places the familiar Dutch character within an art-museum setting, foregrounding Miffy not only as a popular children’s icon but also as the subject of a retrospective presentation built around illustration and picture-book design. By tracing the full series, the exhibition frames Miffy’s development over time rather than focusing on a single book or image.
Hiroshima Museum of Art, based in Hiroshima, Japan, shared the news through its official social media account. The museum’s brief teaser did not provide the exhibition’s full schedule, venue details beyond the institution itself, or additional programming information, but it made clear that the display is organized around the anniversary celebration and the complete set of 32 picture-book titles.
Miffy, created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna, has been a durable figure in global visual culture for decades. An anniversary presentation centered on the picture books offers a straightforward curatorial approach: it returns attention to the original sequence of publications and to the visual consistency that has made the character instantly recognizable across generations.
The museum’s announcement identified the exhibition as ‘MuFi-70: 70th Anniversary Miffy Exhibition’ and presented the series survey as a key point of interest. No additional dates were included in the post, so the available information centers on the anniversary theme and the scope of the books covered.
For visitors following the museum’s announcements, the exhibition signals a focused look at the Miffy picture books at Hiroshima Museum of Art, with the full 32-work series forming the backbone of the display.
