Why don’t you and your children go to a cool museum during summer vacation?
Following “NMAO Family☆Hour!“ which was very popular last year, we will again offer a day for visitors with babies and children to view the exhibition without any hesitation.

You can talk with your family and friends, and even if your baby cries, it’s OK.
Of course, strollers are welcome. We also have a nursing room and a kids room.
Please come and relax with your baby or small child.

This year’s program, “Art Tour Series Special” (August 24 and 25; advance reservations required) will be held at the same time for parents and children to enjoy together. We are waiting for you with a variety of activities!
