The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo (located in Takebashi) will hold the free 'Middle and High School Student Program: Go a Little Beyond Yourself...' for middle and high school students. The program consists of 8 sessions from November 2026 to April 2027, with applications open from September 3 to October 5. The capacity is 20 students. First launched last year to positive reception, the program deepens understanding of art through dialogues with artists of the museum's collection and various specialists, workshops, and participant communication. In its final stages, participants will plan and execute 'Bijutsu Hakken-tai,' a practical program to convey the fun of art to elementary school students. The museum established this program to address the scarcity of initiatives for middle and high school students in Japanese museums, aiming to foster perspectives for thinking about oneself, others, and contemporary social issues through art.
