Like the previous exhibition style, we would like visitors to taste not only the exhibition but also the attraction of the town by wondering about with a town map on their hand.
The theme “Casket-Magical World”-we should have our own unexposed casket in ourselves that brings us the magical moment across a space‐time continuum and timeless journey.
