Since its opening in January 1995, the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum has worked to highlight the diverse characteristics and expressions of the culture of photography and moving images, while pursuing the fundamental question ‘What is photography and moving images?’
With the mission of revitalizing creative activities in the field of visual imaging, we undertake a wide variety of projects in cooperation with the surrounding community.
Through these projects, the museum aims to create and spread the outstanding culture of photography and moving images to people in Japan and around the world. At the same time, we hope to contribute to the promotion of culture in Tokyo by functioning as a cultural facility that is familiar to the local community.
