【Overview】

The Bronze Gallery, originally completed in 1970 during the Osaka Expo year, will be renewed and reopened in April 2025 alongside the Kyoto main building. This renewal coincides with the new Osaka Expo.

While maintaining the layout of its four exhibition rooms, the gallery now enhances its spatial presentation using the elegance of modern architecture. This updated exhibition invites you to experience the craftsmanship and artistic beauty of ancient Chinese bronzes from multiple perspectives.
