Other exhibitions
The museum also offers feature exhibitions and temporary exhibitions,
and it holds exhibitions at Tenri Gallery in Tokyo.
The feature exhibitions, held three or four times a year, each have a
unique theme. These are intended to deepen public interest in the museum.
The temporary exhibitions are generally held in a corner of the Japanese
ethnographical materials gallery on floor 2. These are seasonal exhibits
displaying, for example, traditional hina dolls in March and warrior dolls
in May.
The museum also holds exhibitions twice a year at Tenri Gallery, which
is located on the 9th floor of Tokyo Tenri Kyokan Building (Kanda-Nishiki-cho,
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo).
