Project Objectives
This project positions Japan’s traditional culture as a shared asset of humanity and aims to promote mutual understanding and international relations through cultural exchange. Serving as a hub for both project implementation and talent development, the Tokyo National Museum will lead exhibitions that introduce Japanese art and craftsmanship—particularly to regions such as Asia, BRICS, and other nations in the south, where Japan’s future economic engagements are required. The Global Exhibition Team (GET) trains high-level professionals who will play an important part internationally, aiming to advance Japan’s cultural presence on the world stage as well as to cultivate an international fan base for Japanese culture.
Project Approach
The Global Exhibition Team (GET) aims to build networks with overseas museums and become an international hub for researching and promoting Japanese culture, along with training young talents such as curators who will play an important role on the world stage. The trainees will focus on cultivating an international fan base of Japanese culture and nurturing local experts. The team will establish this international hub with programs such as projects to develop exhibition methods, and strive to achieve its goals through Japanese arts and crafts exhibitions around the world.
