John Lennon Museum (ジョン・レノン・ミュージアム,Jon Renon Myūjiamu) was a museum located inside theSaitama Super Arena inChūō-ku, Saitama,Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
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 theSaitama Super Arena inChūō-ku, Saitama,Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
The museum was established to preserve knowledge ofJohn Lennon's life and musical career; it displayed Lennon's widowYoko 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 anavant-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.
