Tokushima Prefectural Museum Permanent Exhibition Renewal

This is a renewal of the permanent exhibition of the general museum (approved public facility) located in Bunka-no-Mori Park, which combines the humanities of archeology, history, folklore, and arts and crafts with the natural history of animals, plants, geology, and dinosaurs.
With the new concept of "Tokushima Maru Tsukami - Monogatari of 'life' and 'time' -", the permanent displays room has been completely renewed.

In the new permanent displays room, you can experience the charm and characteristics of Tokushima from a wealth of displays materials, and enjoy the museum even more. Through both inclusive concept design and displays evaluation workshops, we will confirm the direction of displays contents, verify the experience displays, implement universal concept design, and create a new "Communication Zone" with the museum as the "face of the community" in mind. displays emphasizes dialogue and interaction between curators and visitors, and between visitors, through materials (things) as they travel around "Museum Street".
The attraction of Tokushima is regarded as "abundant nature, traditional culture, and advancedness", and as a base for Awa Yuzan that conveys the attraction, it will always have fresh surprises and evolve into a museum that can be enjoyed comfortably. It is an displays space where you can play and learn about the charm of Tokushima by participating experience-based displays methods such as 4K / VR, AR, etc.


[Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests]
・The existing permanent displays is basically based on the academic standards of 30 years ago. Due to the limitation of displays case, it was not easy to change displays, and it became obsolete.
・The old displays did not have a clear characteristic and did not become the “face of the region”, and the content was not segregated compared to other museums that came later.
・There was a need to respond to social demands, such as efforts to convey the joy of discovery and learning through objects (materials), and an increase in hands-on and participatory elements.
・It was necessary to make it universal, mainly for foreigners and people with disabilities, to deal with damage and discoloration due to deterioration over time, air conditioning malfunction, and LED lighting.


【solution】
・In consultation with the curator, the contents of the displays will be completely replaced, and through both inclusive concept design and displays evaluation workshops, the direction of the displays contents will be confirmed, the experience displays will be verified, and universal concept design will be implemented. In addition to creating the museum as the “face of the museum,” we have adopted a partially selected flow line instead of a simple one-way flow line by organizing the flow line from “Museum Street” to each displays corner, centering on the “Communication Zone.”
