Adult admission to the event is priced at 1000 yen, and online advance reservations are required. Details on how to reserve a place can be found on the official museum website here.
The Tokyo National Museum is easily accessible via several different train stations.
For those using JR lines, the museum is 10 minutes walk from either Ueno or Uguisudani Station.
For those using the Tokyo Metro subway, the museum is 5 minutes walk from Ueno Station (Ginza or Hibiya line), or 15 minutes walk from Nezu Station (Chiyoda Line).
