PERSONA 30th EX. runs January 21 to February 7, 2027 at the Ueno Royal Museum in Tokyo, with a paid Special Preview on January 20, 2027. Lottery applications for the preview opened November 6, 2026 and closed November 8 at 23:59.
Kadokawa announced PERSONA 30th EX. on September 20, 2026 as a large-scale exhibition for the Persona series' 30th anniversary, set for the Ueno Royal Museum in Tokyo from January 21 to February 7, 2027. The first announcement promised displays of never-before-shown materials and areas recreating the series' world setting, and pointed to a further reveal on the official X account at 19:00 on October 23.
That reveal came on October 24: a key visual drawn by character designer Shigenori Soejima, plus a plan to release drawn visuals of eight characters from across the series sequentially on the exhibition's official X account, starting with the protagonist of Revelations: Persona. The official website opened with opening hours and date and time ticket conditions. The show's promotion now runs on its own schedule ahead of the January opening.
The January 20 date flagged in the first announcement turned out to be a Special Preview, one day before the public opening. Lottery applications opened November 6, 2026 and ran through November 8 at 23:59, with results on November 13 and payment due November 17. Preview tickets cost 6,500 yen including tax. Standard date and time admission in advance is 2,700 yen, or 3,000 yen on the day. Advance lottery sales run November 20 to November 24, with first-come sales from December 5.
The exhibition includes art and three-dimensional sculptures from series titles including Persona 4 Revival, production materials shown publicly for the first time, and original goods using newly drawn illustrations. Admission comes with an A4-size art print.
