<\/p>\nFukuoka\u2019s annual Museum Week returns in conjunction with International Museum Day (May 18), running for nine days from May 16\u201324, 2026. Museums and galleries across the city collaborate to offer special exhibitions and hands-on programs, inviting visitors to explore Fukuoka\u2019s diverse cultural institutions.<\/p>\n
Participating venues offer free or discounted admission to permanent exhibitions, alongside a wide range of events such as behind-the-scenes tours, gallery talks, and workshops. Programs highlight each institution\u2019s unique character, including rare access to normally restricted areas and expert-led insights.<\/p>\n
The lineup includes Fukuoka City museums and art museums, the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, as well as zoos, botanical gardens, university museums, and corporate collections. Moving between venues across different fields and neighborhoods provides a broader perspective on the city\u2019s cultural landscape.<\/p>\n
