Museum announces shortened viewing hours for “Ancient Egypt” exhibition

Due to the Japanese government’s declaration of national emergency in response to the ongoing pandemic, the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum has temporarily altered viewing hours for the exhibition, “Ancient Egypt—The Creation of the World.” The exhibition will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with admission closing at 3:30 p.m. The museum is closed on Mondays and if a national holiday falls on a Monday, then the following day will be closed.

The “Ancient Egypt—The Creation of the World” exhibition features some 130 works selected with meticulous care from the superlative collection of the Egyptian Museum of Berlin, which belongs to the famed Neues Museum on Berlin’s Museum Island. By viewing these artifacts and aided by the use of short animated films, viewers are invited to delve into the many profound allegories embraced by one of the oldest civilizations in the world.
