New Exhibition Space "YURAKUCHO MUSEUM" to Open at Tokyo International Forum

Sony Creative Products Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kimimichi Hirayama) is pleased to announce the opening of "YURAKUCHO MUSEUM" at Tokyo International Forum on Friday, July 10, 2026. As its inaugural exhibition, the "Pingu: More Than Just Cute!? Exhibition" will be held from Friday, July 10 to Sunday, September 6. Yurakucho, Tokyo, is a vibrant hub where art, music, workers, and visitors, as well as many people and cultures, intersect. The new exhibition space, "YURAKUCHO MUSEUM," born within the Tokyo International Forum, will flexibly utilize its two gallery spaces, large and small, to realize various exhibitions and events where visitors can encounter new works and expressions. It is a museum of "beginnings" where people and works connect and expand. The "Pingu: More Than Just Cute!? Exhibition" is themed around an "amusement park." It will display numerous materials, including valuable clay models actually used in animation production, and offer an exhibition where visitors can see, touch, and experience the previously unknown charms of Pingu, such as his rich expressions, unique movements, and the mysteriously conveyed "Pingu language." Discover the charms of "Pingu" that you thought you knew but didn't, and find new "likes" and "fun." Details regarding ticket sales will be announced around mid-May on the official exhibition website and social media. 【What is Pingu?】 Pingu is a stop-motion animation created by Swiss filmmaker Otmar Gutmann. 2025 marks the 45th anniversary since the test film, which was the prototype of "Pingu," was produced in 1980. Since 1990, the TV series has been broadcast in over 155 countries and regions worldwide, and the warm and humorous stories of Pingu, the penguin boy, and his friends are loved by people all over the world. ▼Pingu Official Website https://www.pingu.jp/ ▼Pingu Official Instagram (@pingu_jp) https://www.instagram.com/pingu_jp/ ▼Pingu Official X (@pingu_jpn) https://x.com/pingu_jpn ▼Pingu Official YouTube (@Pingu) https://www.youtube.com/@Pingu ●Request regarding publication Please include credit. 🄫2026 JOKER. <"Pingu: More Than Just Cute!?
