At the Kitakami City Museum Main Building, special exhibitions focusing on school education and the lives of children are being held.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the promulgation of the Education System, the foundation of modern education. We will look back on the history of education in Kitakami through materials such as textbooks, school bulletins, school bags, and photographs borrowed from local elementary schools, and learn about the lives of children before, after, and today.
