Hibiya Library & Museum, Public library and museum in Hibiya Park, Tokyo, Japan.
Hibiya Library & Museum is a building in Hibiya Park that houses a public library section, exhibition rooms, and community gathering areas. The structure spreads across multiple floors with book collections, research materials, and rotating cultural displays.
The building opened in 2011 as a successor to the earlier Tokyo Metropolitan Hibiya Library. It was designed to combine library services with museum spaces and areas for cultural activities in one location.
The exhibition spaces present objects and documents that tell the story of Chiyoda district across different periods. Visitors can walk through displays that show how the neighborhood has developed and changed over time.
The facility is open during daytime and evening hours, with longer opening times on weekdays than on weekends. Visitors should know that the building closes periodically for maintenance and staff days.
The building brings together three different functions in one place: a public library, a museum for local heritage, and spaces for cultural exchange activities. This arrangement lets visitors move between reading, exploring history, and attending cultural events without leaving the site.
