A simple way to visit

  1. Check the exhibition and ticket type first.
  2. Allow a full visit rather than squeezing it in before closing.
  3. Finish with a short Ryogoku walk, or return directly in heavy rain.

Make the most of your visit

Check the exhibition page, display changes and photography rules before visiting. Do not confuse the Education Room ticket with a special-exhibition ticket.

Rainy-day planning

The galleries provide an indoor option, but the walk from the station is outside. Keep an umbrella and check closure notices.
