This is a renewal of the permanent exhibition at the comprehensive museum (publicly approved facility) located in the Bunka no Mori Comprehensive Park, which combines humanities subjects such as archaeology, history, folklore, and arts and crafts with natural history subjects such as zoology, botany, geology, and dinosaurs. With a new concept, "A Complete Grasp of Tokushima - A Story of 'Life' and 'Time'," the permanent displays rooms have been completely renovated. The new permanent displays rooms are designed to allow visitors to experience the charm and characteristics of Tokushima through a wealth of displays, making the museum more enjoyable. Through workshops on both inclusive concept design and displays evaluation, the direction of displays content was confirmed, the experiential displays were verified, and universal concept design was implemented. With the museum as the "face of the region" in mind, the exhibition is designed to value dialogue and interaction between curators and visitors, and among visitors themselves, through the displays (objects) as they move from the newly created "Communication Zone" to the "Museum Street." The museum embraces Tokushima's appeal as "rich nature, traditional culture, and innovativeness," and as a base for conveying this appeal, it has evolved into a museum that is always full of fresh surprises and easy to enjoy. Rather than simply providing information to visitors, it is an displays space where visitors can learn about the charm of Tokushima through play, using actual materials (objects) as its core, and participatory displays methods such as 4K, VR, AR, XR, and hands-on experiences. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] - The existing permanent displays was basically based on the academic standards of 30 years ago, and although the knowledge and collection of materials related to nature, history, and culture have increased significantly through the accumulation of activities, the constraints of the room structure and displays cases made it difficult to change displays, and they had become outdated. - The old displays lacked a clear characteristic and did not represent the "face of the region," and its content was not differentiated from other museums that opened later. - There was a need to respond to social demands, such as initiatives that convey the joy of discovery and learning through objects (materials), and an increase in hands-on and participatory elements. - Universal design focused on accommodating foreigners and people with disabilities, as well as addressing damage and fading due to aging, air conditioning malfunctions, and the need for LED lighting. [Solution] - After consultation with the curator, we completely replaced the displays and, through workshops on inclusive concept design and displays evaluation, confirmed the direction of displays, verified the experiential displays, and implemented universal concept design. Along with creating a museum that serves as a "face of the community," we reorganized the flow of movement from the "Museum Street" to each displays corner, centering on the "Communication Zone," and adopted a partially selective flow of movement instead of a simple one-way route. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Koichi Morimoto [Planning] Kyohei Kishida, Setsuko Nishimura, Mao Horii, Hironori Mima [concept design] Masaaki Mitsunaga, Tadashi Yuasa, Takeo Akamine, Rie Morita, Reiko Kagawa [Production/ construction] Hayato Ichimanda, Yoshito Inoue, Yu Oishi, Koichiro Takahashi
