＜Expo'70 Commemoration Park＞
National Museum of Ethnology
The National Museum of Ethnology (Minpaku) was founded in 1974 as an inter-university institute for cultural anthropology, ethnology and related fields, and opened in 1977 on the site of the 1970 World Expo in Senri, Osaka. The architectural design was by Kisho Kurokawa.
The event will mark its 50th anniversary in 2024, and the main venue in Expo Commemoration Park, home to Taro Okamoto's Tower of the Sun, will become a symbolic place that connects the 1970 Osaka Expo with this art festival and the Osaka-Kansai Expo in 2025, transcending the ages.
