What this is
This is a free volunteer-led slide presentation held every Sunday as part of the Museum Mystery exhibition in Kobe. Museum volunteers guide attendees through the exhibition's themes and artworks using an engaging visual format. The presentation is designed to deepen visitors' understanding of the exhibition's content in an accessible, informal setting. It offers a curated introduction to the works on display, making it especially useful for those who want context before or after exploring the exhibition floor.
Who should go
This presentation is ideal for curious visitors who enjoy a guided, educational approach to art and culture. It suits first-time visitors to the exhibition as well as those returning for a deeper look. The informal volunteer-led format makes it welcoming for all ages, including older adults and engaged teenagers. Arrive a few minutes early to secure a seat in the lecture room, as capacity may be limited.
Good to know
Admission to the presentation is free, though entry to the broader Museum Mystery exhibition may require a separate ticket — confirm at the venue box office on arrival. The presentation takes place in a dedicated lecture room, so seating is likely limited; arriving 10 minutes early is advisable. As this is a volunteer-led event, the language of presentation is most likely Japanese — English-speaking visitors may wish to check in advance whether bilingual materials or an English-speaking volunteer is available. Cash is typically accepted at Japanese museum ticket counters, though card acceptance varies by venue.
