For Schools
*in Japanese, except some programs and Google Arts & Culture
For School Teachers

We hold art appreciation study opportunities and special exhibition viewing programs for school educators at all educational levels. These programs aim to further develop museum-school, interactions, communication and understanding.


Viewing Programs for School Teachers

During each special exhibition display period, we provide special viewing sessions for nursery school through high school level teaching staff (both teachers and aides). These free viewing programs provide opportunities for participants to examine how to use the NMWA in curriculum programming or school club activities. The dates and times for these sessions will be posted closer to date on this page. All sessions by prior application only.


Teachers’ Seminars *in Japanese only

These seminars primarily aimed at elementary, junior high school, and high school teaching staff provide information on art appreciation education and opportunities to learn how to use the art museum in their curriculum. Potential participants are asked to explain their interests and seminar aims to the NMWA Education Section staff.  Each session’s contents will be determined in consultation between the NMWA staff and participants.

Application Procedure:

Please see this page (in Japanese).


Teacher and Curator Training Program

The training program is for those who are dedicated to Art Education, such as teachers, museum curators, and supervisors. We aim to promote cooperation between schools and art museums in local communities in Japan. It is held at one of the national museums of art, for 2 days during summer each year.
