Exhibition: “Sone & Chujo, Architects and Keio University I” is open

Sone & Chujo, Architects which is a representative architectural firm in modern Japan, has been involved in designing over 30 buildings for Keio. How did the Sone & Chujo, Architects and Keio’s 30-year relationship come about, and what was the secret to its longevity? Through newly confirmed original designs and drawings by Sone & Chujo, Architects, the exhibition traces the trajectory, revealing the human networks and ideological resonance between them. The first phase of the exhibition, titled “Meiji and Taisho Era” is currently being held at the Exhibition Room in the Keio History Museum (2nd floor of the old library).

Exhibition: ‘Sone & Chujo Architects and Keio University’ Opening Commemoration Stickers!

At our museum, in commemoration of the opening of the 2023 exhibition: ’Sone & Chujo Architects and Keio University I Meiji・Taisho era’, we will gift stickers for those who have visited the exhibition or purchased the catalog at the reception before 9/2 (Sat.).

A total of 4 types of stickers will be distributed daily, and 1 of the four will be distributed randomly.

(For visitors after their second visit, please inform the staff. We will hand over the stickers without duplication.)

Also, there is a secret sticker for those who have collected all four types.

Please inform the staff at the reception.

※The distribution will end as soon as it runs out.

On October 29th (Saturday), we welcomed the visitors from former Naganuma Village, Narita City to the Keio History Museum. As well as the museum they visited a number of sites around Mita Campus, including the Mita Enzetsukan (Public Speaking Hall) and the site where Fukuzawa Yukichi passed away. During their stay, they had the opportunity to hear many valuable stories about each place.

We are currently putting together a video showing highlights of the day, which will be published to our YouTube channel!

To commemorate 150 years since the first publication of Gakumon no susume (An Encourgement of Learning), select facilities on Mita Campus are distributing stickers of Fukuzawa Yukichi and Gakumon no susume.

Our museum is participating in this giveaway. Visitors to our Autumn Special Exhibition will receive one of these stickers–don’t miss this chance to learn about the impact of Fukuzawa’s work, and get a keepsake from your visit!

Designs are distributed at random.

There are a limited number of stickers available. Giveaway will end when all have been distributed.

Our 2022 Autumn Exhibition, Fukuzawa Yukichi and Civil Resistance —150 Years of An Encouragement of Learning—, opened on October 17^th in the Keio History Museum’s Special Exhibition Hall.

We have been entrusted with a number of important materials from the archives of Naganuma, Narita City, for this exhibition. The oldest item on display is a map of the area dating to 1708, which was regularly used as evidence by Naganuma Village as they fought for their ownership rights over the land.
