Planned exhibition “Back to the Retro Japan”

Flyer

The exhibition introduces the changing of people’s lifestyles through a collection of “retro" and commonly-used tools from 40 to 150 years ago. This year marks the exhibition’s 27th anniversary. The exhibition can be enjoyed by both children and their families, as it introduces past lifestyles through many diorama-like displays of street corners and home interiors, and various documents.
