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 artworks, the passage of time, and the movements that emerge—these are the essence of this museum. What will you discover 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. *We are implementing thorough COVID-19 prevention measures, such as limiting capacity to about half of the usual number. Please check the website below for details.
