John Lennon Museum
Now-closed museum in Japan
John Lennon Museum (ジョン・レノン・ミュージアム, Jon Renon Myūjiamu) was a museum located inside the Saitama Super Arena in Chūō-ku, Saitama, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
History
The John Lennon Museum opened on October 9, 2000, the 60th anniversary of Lennon's birth, and closed on September 30, 2010,[1][2] when its exhibit contract with Yoko Ono expired.[3] It was located inside the Saitama Super Arena in Chūō-ku, Saitama, Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
Contents
The museum was established to preserve knowledge of John Lennon's life and musical career; it displayed Lennon's widow Yoko Ono's collection of his memorabilia as well as other displays. A tour of the museum began with a welcoming message and short film narrated by Yoko Ono (in Japanese with English headphones available), and ended at an avant-garde styled "reflection room" full of chairs facing a slide show of moving words and images. After this room there was a gift shop with John Lennon memorabilia available.
