Exhibition Sailor Moon Museum is coming outside of Japan for the first time. Having previously been held in several cities, the exhibition is scheduled to begin its journey to other countries this coming autumn.
What is the Sailor Moon Museum?
The museum is a traveling exhibition featuring artwork and artifacts relating to over 30 years of history of this iconic series. The museum has collections from the manga, anime, and live-action adaptations.
Previously, exhibitions have taken place in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka, and Nagoya. This event is designed as traveling exhibition that can be moved to various locations without the construction of a permanent building.
The organizers said that the museum will "power up" when it is brought overseas. This information suggests that there will be additional collections or new elements that have never been displayed before.
When and Where Will the Museum Open?
Official information states that the exhibition will make its international debut in the autumn. At the moment, there is no official announcement regarding the first country or city where the event will take place.
The official statement uses the term "overseas" without mentioning a specific region. This leaves open the possibility that the exhibition could take place in more than one country. As of now, there are no further details on the exact schedule or location.
The last exhibition in Japan took place in Nagoya and concluded in September last year.
