A children's guidebook titled "Children's Guidebook Art Mawaru 2026" is now available at 10 Tokyo metropolitan cultural facilities. Produced by the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation for History and Culture, the guidebook is aimed primarily at elementary school students and features adorable ghost characters for each facility — encouraging kids to explore art alongside these friendly guides.
While thinking about the answers to the questions in the guidebook, children can tour each facility, write down their discoveries freely, and enjoy a fun-filled experience with their families.
The guidebook offers a welcoming entry point for families who may not have visited museums, art galleries, theaters, or concert halls before — providing an opportunity to nurture imagination while encountering art across a variety of venues.
