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 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 movement that emerges—these are the essence of this museum. What will you discover today? What can you create…? No matter when or how often you visit, this is a space for play and learning that sparks that sense of excitement. *The venue will move to the CANVAS Office in Takeshiba starting in the 2022 fiscal year.
