■ What is the SUKE SUKE Exhibition?
A special exhibition offering visitors a chance to feel a world of structure where their digital and analog experiences merge
The
Suke Suke Exhibition is an exhibition featuring suke suke (see-through) worlds in an attempt to satisfy the primal curiosity of “wanting to see things that are not visible,” which we all have cherished since our childhood. By combining the external appearance of various machines, structures, and animals with state-of-the-art imaging technologies, the exhibition introduces how internal functions and structure work and relate with each other. It is designed to pique the curiosity of a broad range of generations from children to adults by taking various approaches, such as letting visitors experience becoming “transparent” and with a display of skeleton specimens and transparent living things.
Some of the contents may be subject to change depending on the status of the spread of COVID-19 infection.
Children of elementary school age and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when entering the exhibition room.
