2026 International Art Exchange Exhibition at The National Art Center, Tokyo

The National Art Center, Tokyo (国立新美術館) is one of only five national art museums in Japan and the largest exhibition facility in the country, boasting over 14,000 m² of gallery space. Situated in the heart of Roppongi — Tokyo's cultural epicenter — it forms one point of the iconic "Roppongi Art Triangle" alongside the Mori Art Museum and Suntory Museum of Art.

​

With over 2.5 million visitors each year**, this is not just an exhibition — it is a career milestone. For many artists, showing at The National Art Center is the equivalent of performing at Carnegie Hall. Your work will be seen by collectors, curators, gallerists, and art lovers from around the globe.

**This is your invitation to step onto Japan's most celebrated art stage.
