Planned exhibition “Back to the Retro Japan”
This exhibition gathers tools that were once familiar to us, from around 150 to 40 years ago, to explore how tools and lifestyles have evolved. It features diorama-style displays that make you feel like you’ve time-traveled to a street corner from the 1950s, or inside of a home and classroom, from the 1930s. Visitors can also enjoy seeing, touching, and experiencing actual tools from the past. It offers fun for both kids and families.
