During said menses, all participating institutions will stay open up until 9pm on at least 1 24-hour interval of the week, with most extending their hours on two days weekly. And that, in plow, opens up all kinds of exciting possibilities: how about taking in an exhibition before hitting the confined, or avoiding the evening rush hour past admiring art long past sunset?
However you choose to accept advantage of the longer hours, in that location'south plenty to look forward to: in addition to the events listed below, the programme includes a slew of gallery talks and lectures (all in Japanese, natch), plus discounts for exhibition ticket-holders at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and Edo-Tokyo Museum'southward cafés and restaurants after 5.30pm.
