This is the third "BE@RBRICK WORLD WIDE TOUR." The first tour, from 2004 to 2007, began at Shibuya Parco Museum in Tokyo and traveled to six cities (seven venues) including Osaka, Sapporo, NY, Florence, and Milan. The second tour, from 2011 to 2015, visited four cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai, and Bangkok, captivating audiences worldwide.
This "BE@RBRICK WORLD WIDE TOUR 3," commemorating BE@RBRICK's 20th anniversary, was first unveiled globally in December 2021 at "SPACE O" on the B3 floor of Omotesando Hills Main Building in Tokyo. A record-breaking approximately 100 high-caliber creators gathered, marking a spectacular start to the tour befitting its anniversary year.

As the first overseas exhibition, "BE@RBRICK WORLD WIDE TOUR 3 in Hong Kong" is held in partnership with Forward Fashion as the opening event for their newly established multi-dimensional art space, "Artelli (Hong Kong)." Four new creators have also joined the lineup.

At the opening ceremony on Monday, March 20, 2023, Tatsuhiko Akashi, President of Medicom Toy, and Cyrus Fong illuminated the BE@RBRICKs installed on the wall, marking the start of the reception. The venue was bustling with attendees who had eagerly awaited the event.
