Ken Iwata Mother and Child Museum, Imabari City

The museum exhibits 44 sculptures focusing on mother and child themes, displayed both inside the building and throughout the outdoor spaces.

The Ken Iwata Mother and Child Museum opened its doors in August 2011 in a location that previously housed the Munakata Elementary School.

The sculptures within the museum represent the deep connection between mothers and children through various artistic interpretations in Japanese culture.

The museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM except Mondays, with admission fees of 310 yen for adults and 160 yen for students.

The museum building, designed by architect Toyo Ito, incorporates semi-outdoor spaces where visitors can hear the song Toki no Tobira throughout the day.
