こどもだけのミュージアム‐もの・素材・道具展‐

Children are artists. Using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids,” they’ll freely create their own works. Artworks, objects before they become artworks, the passage of time, and the movement that emerges—these are the essence of this museum. What will they discover today? What will they be able to do…? No matter when or how often they visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement every time.
