Cool Japan

Cool Japan immersed you in the worldwide fascination for Japanese visual culture with icons such as Hello Kitty, Zelda and Sailor Moon.

Through unique historical works from our own collection and loans, the MAS shows the long tradition from which contemporary Japanese pop culture has grown out. In ‘Cool Japan’, you were not only able to look and explore; there were also lots of things to do, such as talking to robot Pepper or reading manga comics for hours on end.
