[Important Notice] Temporary Closure for Renovations (May 7 – October 29, 2026)

The Hakone Museum of Art will be closed to the public from May 7 to October 29, 2026, for extensive renovation work.

Since opening in 1952, the museum has welcomed visitors for over 70 years, and our main building was designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan in 2021. This renovation project is essential to address aging facilities and to ensure the long-term preservation and continued use of this historic cultural site.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Reopening Schedule (Anticipated)

• October 30, 2026: Pre-opening We will launch our newly established cafe in the rest area and open a temporary exhibition room in the Annex.

• December 23, 2026: Grand Reopening Following the full renewal of the Main Building exhibition rooms, we look forward to providing an enhanced environment for you to enjoy our permanent collection.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the newly renovated Hakone Museum of Art in Autumn 2026!
