From the summer of 2026, the Himeji Science Museum will host the special exhibition "Himeji Ironology." This exhibition focuses on "iron," a material that has played a crucial role in the industry of Himeji City. It explores both the scientific properties of iron and its historical and industrial significance, showcasing how this material has shaped and supported the local region.
The exhibition is divided into two main aspects: the scientific explanation of iron's properties and its connection to Himeji's local industry. Visitors can learn how a common material like iron is processed and how it has supported society. Unlike the permanent exhibits, this specialized theme offers a multi-angled perspective on the importance of iron in both science and industry.
