Ausstellungen in Osaka
November 2026
The British Museum's Edo paintings and prints land at Nakanoshima, and Abeno Harukas hangs Japan's first Andrew Wyeth retrospective sixteen floors up. Fujita and the City Museum of Fine Arts look east, with curators' favourites and Ming calligraphy from Taipei. Itsuo's tea, sake and smoking show closes on the 23rd, about when the Midosuji ginkgos turn yellow.
