MINERVA is an art project named after the Roman goddess of poetry, wisdom, and the arts. It has been dedicated to introducing the richness and diversity of Japanese art to the world through exhibitions and publications.

In 2025, the project marked its 20th anniversary, alongside the 10th anniversary of its collaboration with the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), a longstanding partner in cultural exchange.

The exhibition takes place at Mall Galleries in London, the home of the RBA. This historic venue was established following a declaration by Elizabeth II and has served as a significant platform for artistic presentation. Over the past decade, MINERVA has consistently held exhibitions at this venue, establishing itself as a highly regarded showcase of Japanese art in London.

The 2026 edition will feature approximately 280 selected Japanese artists, presenting a wide range of contemporary practices including Japanese-style painting, Western-style painting, sculpture, three-dimensional works, crafts, calligraphy, photography, and NFT art.

Through this exhibition, a dialogue between Japanese and British artists unfolds in London—a city where royal tradition and contemporary culture coexist—offering new perspectives and possibilities in contemporary art.

Following the London exhibition, a domestic exhibition is scheduled to be held in October 2026 at Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art, marking the first presentation in Japan in approximately four years.
