During the summer of 2026, the Himeji Science Center will host the special exhibition 'Himeji Ironology.' This exhibition focuses on 'iron,' a material that has played a vital role in the local industry of Himeji. The display explores both the scientific properties of iron and its historical and industrial significance, showcasing how this material has shaped the region.
The exhibition is divided into two main parts: an explanation of the scientific properties of iron and a showcase of its connection to Himeji's industries. Visitors can learn how a common material like iron is processed and how it has supported society. This specialized theme offers a deeper, multi-faceted look at the importance of iron in industry, distinct from the museum's permanent collections.
