Keio Museum Commons (KeMCo) was officially launched on April 1, 2019.

Keio University is in possession of many cultural assets and works of art including numerous important cultural properties. KeMCo is a new type of university museum that facilitates exchange between people involved with the collections by mutually linking these cultural collections. Based at the facility that is currently under construction at the former site of the Mita Campus East Annex, KeMCo will roll out activities that include the online publication of Keio’s cultural assets, research, and education, and exhibitions utilizing advanced digital technologies.
