Business Overview

An appreciation program for orphanages. We have planned an outing to the museum with children on holidays in consultation with the facility. In fiscal 2018, the "Let's Go to the Museum" was held with 4 orphanages, and 55 people participated. They visited four museums in Tokyo and created opportunities to interact with art and people. The service is custom-designed to meet the needs of the facility, and is characterized by careful accompanying of both the facility and the children. Invitations will be sent to children in advance, and on the day of the event, knock-knock will meet them at the nearest station, and staff will accompany the children, providing a place where even first-timers can feel at ease. At the museum, visitors can view the works from a variety of perspectives, including pairs and groups, and create art files by expressing their memories of viewing the works in writing and pictures over lunch. After the event, letters, photos and booklets are delivered to the children to connect the museum with their daily lives.
