Time Out says

Reopened after renovations in March 2020, it houses a collection centred on modern and contemporary art with a connection to Kyoto. Featured artists include Uemura Shoen, Tomioka Tessai and Kamisaka Sekka.

Hello Kitty Exhibition: As I Change, So Does She

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Sanrio’s Hello Kitty, an iconic character beloved by millions around the world. To commemorate the significant milestone, this anniversary exhibition has landed at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art, where it will be on show until December 7. The travelling exhibition was previously held in Tokyo, Fukuoka and Okinawa, and features the largest number of Hello Kitty merchandise ever exhibited. The exhibition also showcases collaborative works with well-known artists and designers, and exclusive animated videos of the character. You can also expect plenty of fun and cute photo opportunities throughout. We strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance online, as tickets at the door are subject to availability and long waiting times.
