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

Children are artists. They freely create using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids.”
Artworks, objects in the process of becoming art, the flow 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.
*The venue will move to the CANVAS Office in Takeshiba starting in fiscal year 2022.

At the Kids Creative Institute, you’ll meet a wide variety of experts and artists—choreographers, writers, professional naturalists, and more. What exactly do these jobs entail? What paths did these people take to become who they are today?
Let’s listen to the life stories of various adults together. Let’s talk about them. If we take a peek at the process that shaped them… it might just give you some hints for thinking about “how I’m made”—both now and in the future.
