A Museum Just for Kids—Exhibition of Objects, Materials, and Tools—

こどもだけのミュージアム‐もの・素材・道具展‐

Children are artists. They’ll freely create using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids.” 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. *Now accepting applications for 2023!
