“Workshop Collection,” one of the world’s largest children’s creative events—which attracted 100,000 children over two days last year—is coming back to Kamisu this year!
Once again, with the cooperation of companies, organizations, and universities connected to Kamisu City, we’ve gathered a collection of special experiences where children can meet, interact, and connect with adults in ways they don’t usually get to!
On the day of the event, there will also be children’s presentations and panel discussions at the same venue! Please be sure to join us for those as well!

| A Museum Just for Kids—Objects, Materials, and Tools Exhibition— |
|
|
Children are artists. Using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids,” they create freely.
Artworks, objects before they become artworks, the passage of time, and the movements that emerge—these are the essence of this museum. What will you encounter today? What will you be able to do…?
No matter when or how often you visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement every time.
