TNM Art Guide
What is TNM Art Guide?
TNM Art Guide is the official guide app for the Tokyo National Museum's cultural exhibits.
Many visitors have used our guides since we introduced them in April 2012, but we have taken this opportunity to update our system and reintroduce it in late March 2020 as TNM Art Guide.
The new-and-improved TNM Art Guide supports four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. In addition to audio and text breakdowns of our favorite pieces from our current exhibits, you can enjoy theme-specific museum course guides, interactive contents, collecting stamps at stations throughout the museum and more. If you have access to a wireless network, you can even use it from the comfort of your own home.
