What this is
Inspired by the phantom thief Kaito Kid from Gosho Aoyama's manga series Magic Kaito, this family-friendly summer exhibition at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum fills its galleries with interactive and playful artworks built around the classic tale of the great thief. Visitors can expect a hands-on, immersive experience rather than a traditional display-and-don't-touch museum show. It's the third instalment of the Come to Summer Museum series, suggesting an established format that blends art with participatory fun.
Who should go
Families with children are the clear target, especially those with any familiarity with Magic Kaito or Case Closed. Anime and manga fans of all ages will find the theme rewarding even without kids in tow.
Good to know
Fukuoka Asian Art Museum is located on the 7th and 8th floors of the Hakata Riverain complex near Nakasu-Kawabata Station. Tickets for special exhibitions are typically purchased at the museum's ticket counter on the day, and major credit cards are generally accepted at the counter. Arrive early on weekends and school holiday dates as family-oriented interactive exhibitions in Japan tend to draw queues. The museum itself is air-conditioned, making it a comfortable summer outing during Fukuoka's hot and humid July weather. Check the museum's official website for advance ticket options and any timed-entry slots, which are increasingly common for popular summer shows.
