The Kids Creative Lab is proving to be a huge hit! Together with our young researchers, we’ll use devices they’ve built themselves to search for sounds, make “spinning banana” string art… We can’t wait to see how everyone’s discoveries and flashes of inspiration will spread throughout the lab!

We’re pleased to announce the Kids Creative Institute’s popular online series, “Secret Hideout in Our Home.” The setting for “Secret Hideout at Home” is wherever you are right now. We’ll create things using everyday items, move our bodies, and conduct experiments. Our goal is to enrich and transform everyone’s daily lives through these workshops and through your own “exploration.”

Children are artists. Using the various materials and tools displayed at the “Museum Just for Kids,” they create freely. 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.
