Nagoya City Science Museum Aichi-Nagoya Nobel Laureate Memorial Room

The exhibition was established jointly by Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya City in the basement of the Life Gallery of the Nagoya City Science Museum, a registered museum, to deepen understanding of Nobel laureates associated with Aichi and Nagoya through explanations of their research, research-related items and hands-on displays experience, as well as to convey their personal histories, personalities and messages to visitors. It is a hybrid space that can be moved and stored entirely due to the movable unit displays, and when the roll-back chairs are deployed, it becomes a hall with seating for approximately 200 people. We were in charge of the basic concept, basic planning, facility renovation, displays design, displays fabrication and installation. (Production included unit production, lighting and sound equipment, video software and hardware, models, signage graphics, etc.)

Nagoya City Science Museum Seimei Kan: SRC, 6F above ground / B2F, total floor area 6,816.13m² displays Area (total 5 rooms) approx. 2,500u (including memorial room B2F approx. 300u)

Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests
1) "Hybrid renovation design" to enable conversion of the different functions of the hall (auditorium) and displays rooms in a short period of time.
(2) "displays ization" of the personalities of the award winners and their passion for science, distinct from the displays of universities and research facilities, and "experiential equipment" of the content of the award-winning research as a science museum displays.
We received the above two requests.

Solution
For (1): Adopted wall storage seating (roll-back chairs), displays booth with self-propelled function and storage space, and scene dimming manager for various uses.
We also created a game that was based on a thorough analysis of the award-winning research, and created an experience that was fun to play.

Customer Comments
We received the following comments at the opening of the museum.

The Nobel Prize displays is a unique and creative place where children can enjoy playing while learning about the Nobel laureates and their research. (Science Museum curatorial section chief)
