What is a museum like? What kind of people work in a museum?

Following last year’s event, this summer we will hold another kids’ program, “Work Experience at the Art Museum!″

What is an art museum like? What kind of people work in an art museum? In this one-day program, children will experience various jobs at the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, including curator, guard, and security staff. Why don’t you take a peek behind the scenes of the museum through experiencing the work of various people who support the museum?

We are looking forward to receiving applications from everyone from 4th grade elementary school students to junior high school students!
