Starry sky photography is popular among people of all ages.

This program introduces the allure of the starry skies, including trivia that you may feel eager to share with friends and family, basic techniques for photographing a starry sky, shooting spots that are safe for children, and stunning views of starry skies in Japan and abroad captured by eminent photographers.

* Adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of goals that the international community should address by 2030. They consist of 17 goals and define 169 targets in areas, such as poverty, inequalities, injustice, health, education, work and economic growth, climate, and the environment. This exhibition is aligned with the efforts of Goal 4 "Quality Education," Goal 13 "Climate Action," and Goal 15 "Life on Land." We hope that these starry sky photographs serve as inspiration for our visitors to reflect on the SDGs.
