In Tokyo's cultural scene this November, visitors can enjoy seven must-see art exhibitions across the city. The month kicks off with Art Week Tokyo, a five-day event running from November 4 to 8. This year, the event has expanded its AWT Focus platform to showcase innovative curatorial practices across ten galleries and spaces. Free evening museum hours, courtesy of the Autumn Night Museum 2026 initiative, are available from November 4 to 8.
Museums operating during this time include the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, among others.
One exhibition worth visiting is a comprehensive survey of Mariko Mori's career at Mori Art Museum. This collaboration with New York's Guggenheim Foundation spans three decades of Mori's work, exploring her transition from a 1990s pop-futurism icon to an architect of transcendental, high-tech environments. Another notable exhibition is "At Random" by renowned sculptor Kohei Nawa at Tokyo Node, located on the 45th and 49th floors of Toranomon Hills Station Tower.
This installation explores the theme of human memory in an AI-driven world and features new versions of Nawa's iconic "PixCell" series, alongside the Japan debut of "Spark" and the sculpture "Throne."
