The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (also called Miraikan) is a national science museum where visitors can experience cutting-edge science and technology related to themes such as space, the global environment, life, and robotics. One of the facility’s most iconic exhibits is its Geo-Cosmos, which is a spherical display six meters in diameter that streams images from weather satellites against a colorful background of the Earth. Also on the third floor is the "Hello! Robot" exhibit, which showcases Miraikan's original partner robot "Keparan" and the forefront of robotics research. At Miraikan, imagine what the future will bring while experiencing the latest science and technology.
