The John Lennon Museum opened to the public on October 9, 2000, the 60th anniversary of John Lennon’s birth. Approved formally by his partner Ms. Yoko Ono, it is the first museum of its kind anywhere in the world.

As a major artist of the 20th century, John Lennon has influenced the world immensely, not only through his music, but also through other channels such as his art and peace campaigns. The Museum was designed in the hopes of accurately passing on his life and his works to the 21st century, and consists of 9 zones (where nearly 130 John Lennon memorabilia from Yoko’s treasured collection are on exhibit), the Museum Theater, and a space at the end - known as the Final Room where his messages are on display.

Visitors will first watch a 7-minute film introducing the life of John Lennon at the Museum Theater, then go on to the Exhibit Zones, where they may appreciate the greatness of the man who died too early, through his beloved guitars, his costumes, the handwritten lyrics, and his film and music. On the pure white walls of the Final Room are John’s messages, taken from 28 of his compositions, and visitors can feel his spirit in a quiet environment, reflecting their own lives through them.

There is also the Museum Lounge where they may bask in the afterglow of John’s spirit, and the Museum Shop, where many original merchandise are offered for sale.

The Museum is located on the 4th and 5th floors of Saitama Super Arena in Saitama Shintoshin (Saitama New Urban Center).
