Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga", operated by Nomura Co., NOMURA as the representative of the designated manager, will completely renovate the Space Discovery Zone on Saturday, March 23, 2024.
NOMURA is entrusted with the operation and management of cultural facilities such as museums and science museums, including research and education, with the aim of contributing to the development of local communities.
The Saga Prefectural Space Science Museum "Yumeginga," which our company operates as the representative designated manager, will be reborn on Saturday, March 23, 2024. "Yumeginga" was established in July 1999 as a communication facility that connects people and science. The museum has four displays: the Earth Discovery Zone, Saga Discovery Zone, Space Discovery Zone, planetarium, and observatory, and is popular as the prefecture's only comprehensive science museum.
25 years have passed since the museum opened, and the "Space Discovery Zone" on the third floor will be renovated to incorporate new research results in astronomy, which is advancing every day, as well as new displays techniques, staging, and experience devices, in order to create displays that looks to the future of the fields of space and astronomy.
The renewal concept is "A long journey into space - the grand drama of the universe and humanity."
This is an displays zone where you can experience, play and learn about space.
[Space Time Adventure] In a large circular theater, you can experience everything from the beginning of the universe to the first star, galaxies, and even the birth of life on an impressive large screen.
[Planets Hopper] You can enjoy learning about the planets of the solar system while hopping between planets aiming for the sun.

[Gravity Jump] In addition to the moon (1/6G) that existed before the renewal, you can also experience the difference in gravity between Mars (1/3G) and Pluto (1/16G) by jumping! The images spread out in front of your eyes and the images on the floor work together with the jumping equipment, creating an immersive experience. You can feel like you are on a space flight.
[Launch the Rocket] Dash and jump to the rhythm! Gather up your power and try to launch a rocket from the moon, Earth, or Jupiter. This is a rhythm action game that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to adults. Let's learn about rockets and artificial satellites! The era then moved on to exploration of the moon and Mars. You can also experience a gravitational jump on the Moon, Mars, and Pluto.
