In 2020, Sanrio is celebrating its 60th anniversary and a special exhibition “60th Anniversary Sanrio Character Museum” will be held in Japan in summer 2020.
The exhibition features various Sanrio characters including the most popular ones such as Hello Kitty, My Melody and Little Twin Stars, ones that have over 40 years history and ones that many of us have nostalgic memories with.
