On Sunday, March 1, 2026, we held the
“Kids-Only Museum”
event❢

The “Children’s-Only Museum” is a space where more than
70 types of materials—donated by
numerous companies and individuals—are displayed, allowing children to create
freely.

There is no set creative theme,
so you can spend your time at your own pace.

An era in which AI is commonly used in everyday life,
technology continues to advance,
and even tactile sensations can be transmitted is just around the corner.

Precisely because there are more opportunities to experience things digitally,
I feel it’s becoming increasingly
important for children to choose their own themes and have the experience of searching for materials while
actually feeling them.

"A Museum Just for Kids"

･

○ A place to just zone out

● The freedom to fail and experiment

○ Learning Through Creation

●Considering the Best Approach for Adult Interaction

○ Spaces That Support Children

"The Museum Just for Kids" is an initiative designed to explore the optimal creative environment for
children and
to conceptualize workshops as physical spaces.

Thank you for joining us again this month!
