Issues/Themes | (1) To communicate the progress of high-speed railway technology and its contribution to the society (2) To create a space where children can learn the railway technology and the relationship between railroads and society. |
Space Solution/Realization | (1) The train car's progress and its contribution to the society have been appealed, with 3 symbolic cars that marked the world record of velocity, and 29 meter wide linked video screen. The cars are displayed in "V" shape in cars exhibition area, for a better impression of the progress of high-speed railway technology. Enough space is devoted for a realistic understanding of the technology progress through the comparison of 0 series and 300 series Shinkansen (base, motor, pantograph etc.) Maintenance of cars and railroads is deeply explained, and the people & technology who support the high-speed service are also introduced. (2) Visitors can not only realize the railway technology with live experience machines, but understand the progress of high-speed railway technology and its relationship with the society, through document and video presentation of historical developement. |
