The Sapporo Parallel Museum started in 2021 as an exhibition accessible from anywhere in the world through both the city and the web. For its third rendition, in addition to exhibiting artworks at six venues along Sapporo Ekimae Dori, this year's exhibition will offer opportunities to enjoy the city and art through museum stores, stamp rallies, talk events, and other events. In addition, to expand the concept of "parallel," the museum collaborates with Yurakucho Art Urbanism (YAU) and conducts a cross-area exchange program.
