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 they inspire—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!

食×STEAM講座「スパイスで描こう」

A “Food × STEAM Workshop” presented by House Foods Group Headquarters and CANVAS! We’ll be hosting artist Ikuko Matsuo for a session titled “Let’s Draw with Spices.” Do you know what spices look like in their natural state? The “pigments” found in spices are the unique pigments inherent to the “plants” from which they come. The fascination of science lies hidden within these pigments! We’re offering a “painting” workshop where you’ll touch, smell, and explore the science of spices. *We are currently accepting waitlist registrations!
