Over three million people have enjoyed the UNIQLO Free Friday Night program to date.

Partnership with Tate Modern (United Kingdom)

UNIQLO sponsors a Free Saturday Night free admission program along with a Mini Discovery Tour educational program, targeted primarily at families. The educational program consists of a 20-minute mini tour that is conducted at various spots around the museum on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the tour, museum staff introduce new perspectives to children and other visitors who are not familiar with art. Both UNIQLO sponsored events provide special opportunities for people to feel close to art.

As part of the partnership, in spring 2021, UNIQLO's graphic-art T-shirt brand, UT, launched the first Louvre Collection collaborative product.
