TOKYO ATLAS International Art Exhibition

6 min read

Event Overview

TOKYO ATLAS is a large-scale international art festival set against the backdrop of Tokyo's waterfront areas, including Daiba, Aomi, and Tennozu. The name derives from both the mythological 'Atlas' and the concept of an 'Atlas' (a map), aiming to create a platform where artists, audiences, corporations, and educational institutions intersect through the catalyst of art. The exhibition features works from leading international artists alongside emerging artists supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, painting a new vision of the city.

We recommend treating the entire city as one large museum and planning your route in advance. Since you will be moving between different areas, it is helpful to understand the characteristics of each location before visiting.

As you will be moving extensively between parks and buildings, we highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes. Please note that some specific programs may require a fee; please check the official website for details. As the event takes place in public parks and facilities, please be mindful of the surrounding environment and other visitors.
