Museum Tour: Hands-on Museum to Learn About the Bonds Between Kesennuma Residents and the Sea
Contents/ Itinerary for BOSAI Tourism
Kesennuma Shark Museum is a hands-on museum to not only learn about the ecology of sharks, but to also learn about the bonds residents in Kesennuma have with the sea.
The Archive Exhibition displays how people in Kesennuma at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, struggled to survive. The Hands-on Exhibition's key theme is “sharks” and their strong relationship with Kesennuma. This exhibition, showing the sea, its bonds and current situation of the Kesennuma area, consists of four zones: 1) The Shark Zone, 2) The “Memories of the Disaster” Zone, 3) The “Bonds” Zone, and 4) The “Living with the Sea” Zone. The zones are full of surprises and discoveries that are unique to Kesennuma.
The exhibitions convey the thought, “We will live together with the sea even if it brings us hardships”.
