Planned exhibition “Back to the Retro Japan”
December 13 (Fri), 2024 – March 9 (Sun), 2025
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.
