This summer, the Hyogo-no-Tsu Museum invites you to a unique event that promises to be a delight for LEGO® enthusiasts and families alike. From July 15 to October 15, 2023, the museum will be hosting the “みんなで遊ぼう！ひょうごレゴ®展” (Let’s Play Together! Hyogo Lego Exhibition).

Immerse Yourself in the World of LEGO®

The exhibition will showcase the rich history of the LEGO® Group, featuring masterpieces created by talented LEGO® builders. Visitors will also have the chance to explore a section dedicated to the charm of Hyogo Prefecture, meticulously crafted using LEGO® blocks. Another highlight is a section introducing Denmark, the birthplace of the LEGO® Group.

Learn from a LEGO® Master

Adding to the excitement, a workshop will be held by Junpei Mitsui, the only LEGO® Certified Professional Builder in Japan, and one of only 21 in the world as of June 2023. There will also be a special workshop by Junpei Mitsui on August 6, 2023, and a lecture on August 27, 2023. Pre-registration is required for these events, and if there are too many applicants, participants will be selected by lottery.

Additional Activities

In addition to these, there will be irregularly held events such as “Let’s Play with LEGO® Blocks!” and “PLAY DAY Workshop”. These interactive sessions promise to be a fun-filled experience for visitors of all ages.
