アリス館志賀

アリス館志賀, Science museum in Shika, Japan

Alice Hall Shiga is a nuclear power exhibition and public relations facility of Hokuriku Electric Power Company in Akasumi, Shika, Ishikawa Prefecture. Its rooms are named after Alice in Wonderland: Alice's Hall explains the Shika Nuclear Power Plant, Alice's Forest has Alice, the Earl Rabbit and the Dodo explain the need for nuclear power, and Alice's Plaza has Alice play the pipe organ while explaining reactor control. In Alice's Flower Garden, the Caterpillar Doctor's open-air class quizzes visitors on radiation and the Card Gardeners present plutonium thermal use and the nuclear fuel cycle; a Cheshire Cat explains safety on a 100-inch screen in Theater Cats.

The museum was established on April 29, 1994, as a nuclear power education center operated by Hokuriku Electric Power Company. It was built near the Shika Nuclear Power Plant to serve as a public information facility about energy generation and related technologies.

The name comes from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and the exhibition rooms are named after its characters: in Alice's Forest the Alice figure, the Earl Rabbit and the Dodo explain why nuclear power is needed, and in Alice's Flower Garden the Caterpillar Professor runs a quiz-style class on radiation. In Alice's Square, Alice plays a pipe organ while explaining reactor control, and the Cheshire Cat presents safety on a 100-inch screen in Theatre Cats.

The facility is in Akasumi, Shika, and can be reached by car via the Noto Satoyama Kaido's Nishiyama interchange, then Routes 116 and 249. By public transport, take a Hokutetsu Noto bus to Takahama, change to a Fukuura or Akasumi service, and walk about 15 minutes from Akasumi; onward buses from Takahama are few. The Shika community bus runs only twice a day, once on Sundays.

The facility's name comes from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and its sections carry the theme: Alice's Forest, where Alice, the Earl Rabbit and the Dodo explain the need for nuclear power, and Alice's Plaza, where Alice plays a pipe organ while explaining reactor control. In the Theatre Cats, the Cheshire Cat explains safety on a 100-inch screen.
