English Visitor Information

The Nagoya City Museum is a history museum that opened in 1977.
We collect and preserve artifacts like archaeological materials, arts and crafts, ancient documents, and folklore materials.

We are currently temporarily closed for renovation, but we are planning to have two special exhibitions from Saturday, September 5, 2026, to Sunday, November 1, 2026, before officially reopening.

Our museum is going to be closed again for renovation work starting Monday, November 2 and continuing for two years. We plan to have the grand opening of our museum on Saturday, April 15, 2028.

Don’t miss this chance to visit the Nagoya City Museum during these special exhibitions before it closes again.
