Secrets of the Hands-on Experience
“What is it like inside? What sounds does it make?”
Have you ever wondered about these when looking at objects on
display in a museum?
If so, we invite you to experience the secrets of works that cannot
be discovered by looking at them through a glass window.
Our hands-on experience, Get in Touch with History, offers visitors
of any age and stage of development the opportunity to feel the
history of Japan with all five senses.
Temporary closure of the Special Exhibition Hall
The Special Exhibition Hall on the third floor will be closed temporarily to facilitate repairs and other upgrading works to our lighting equipment. This closure takes effect from 1 April 2024, and is expected to conclude in December 2024.
We will not be able to put on any Special Exhibitions during this period of time, and are scheduled to reopen in January 2025.
Our Cultural Exchange Exhibition Hall on the fourth floor will remain open as usual.
