Trial of the Increase in Users at Kogai Museum

Abstract

The Nishiyodogawa pollution and environmental museum is a private museum that is at the center of the air pollution trial. The museum pays attention to pollution education. By utilizing the concept of Education for Sustainable Development（ESD），the museum answers peopleʼs questions about pollution and a new significance is placed on learning about pollution. In addition, it is possible to build a network of pollution museums across the country and embark on a generalization of the study of pollution; this is our vision for pollution museums. By focusing on the two­way study of ESD, the Nishiyodogawa pollution and environmental museum was able to increase the number of users in the pollution museum network and deepen their understanding through mutual learning about the importance of the archives there.
