About this event

The fiscal 2026 Autumn Special Exhibition "The World of Museum Goods: Cultural Gateways Connecting People and Museums" held at the Joyo City Historical and Folk Museum showcases a diverse array of museum merchandise sold at museums across Japan. Museum merchandise not only conveys the charm of displayed artifacts and collections in an accessible way, but also plays a communication role linking museums and visitors. This exhibition introduces stationery, sundries, plush toys, accessories, and other items originally developed by history museums, art museums, aquariums, and more. Supervised by Natsumi Osawa, known as a museum goods enthusiast, the exhibition focuses on the ingenuity, design, and cultural value imbued in the merchandise, allowing visitors to discover the appeal of museums extending beyond exhibition galleries through various goods.
