The exhibits of the Printing Museum, Tokyo, have been renewed!

In commemoration of the 20 year anniversary of the founding of the Printing Museum, Tokyo, we had been working on a complete renovation of our exhibition rooms. The renovation was completed and the exhibition opened to the public on Tuesday, October 6th. We apologize for the inconvenience we caused for a while, during the closing of The Printing Museum, Tokyo, due to preparations. New exhibits are now available for public viewing.

We are open with full safety and security measures, as currently there are concerns about contracting COVID-19. We look forward to your visit.
