Let’s enjoy art together! Chat OK “Nigiyaka Saturday” to be held

We will hold “Nigiyaka Saturday,” an event that was very popular last year, again this year.

We hope that visitors who feel nervous because they have to be quiet at art museums, or who find it difficult to go to exhibitions with small children, will feel free to enjoy viewing artworks at art museums. With this in mind, we will hold “Nigiyaka Saturday,” a day where visitors can talk freely about the artworks to further widen the circle of surprise and joy in viewing them.

We plan to set up a children’s space and a nursing room on the day, and we will also prepare a plan for adults and children to enjoy viewing the artworks together.
