Easy-to-understand and mainly experience-type exhibits

The TDK Museum has prepared easy-to-understand exhibits to encourage elementary, junior high, and senior high school students to have an interest in “Why?” and “That’s weird!” and to want to know more and learn more. It takes about one hour to view all the exhibits.
The experience-type exhibits are also popular. They can be enjoyed not only by junior and senior high school students but by lower-grade elementary school children too.
