The venue for the XXXVI FIDEM congress in 2020 was decided during the FIDEM interim meeting in Ottawa (2017) and presented during the General Assembly in Ottawa in June 2018. The city of Tokyo (Japan) will host the modern art medal congress from 20–24 October 2020.
The congress and exhibition will be held at the Hotel Gajoen Tokyo which is known as the Museum Hotel of Japan Beauty. It has enchanting galleries filled with Japanese pre-war art and tranquil gardens with a river flowing through them.
The exhibition will be held in the Hyakudan Kaidan (meaning the one hundred steps stairs), which is situated in the old part of the Gajoen, often called as a “department store of ornamentation”, or a Palace of the Dragon King of Showa Era.
