What Is “Touch and Talk Wagon”?

Specimens exhibited at the museum have a variety of stories and secrets. “Touch and Talk Wagon” introduces a specimen or a material related to the theme of the exhibit room to summarize the points for a deeper understanding of the exhibits.

“Touch and Talk Wagon” is offered by a trained volunteer. The program changes periodically, offering various programs for each exhibit room. Please look for them.
