Pokémon Special Exhibit at Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum to September 23rd!

Wander into a forest of Pikachu made of yellow lace, see Beautifly in its natural habitat, and gawk in awe at the majestic designs of Charizard and Moltres on traditional pottery and lacquerware. For a limited time, Pokémaniacs can see their dream world come to life at the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum and even buy Pokémon-themed souvenirs at the gift shop. In addition, there is a stamp rally going on for the duration of the exhibition, but since the stamp stations are in the lobbies of the first, second, and third floors (as well as in the Pokémon Center Hiroshima store), a museum ticket is not required to complete the stamp rally. Those who collect all four stamps will receive a free, original-design sticker celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise! There will also be special museum talks (given in Japanese), a chance to have a picture taken with a kimono Pikachu, and a Pokémon-themed tea ceremony at the adjacent Shukkeien on select days, so be sure to check the event calendar on the official museum website when planning your trip. Make your summer holiday in Hiroshima all the more special with some artistic Poké-pals!
