Amidst a nationwide economic downturn during the late Taisho and early Showa periods, the exhibition was organized in Takamatsu with the aim of promoting industry and strengthening national power. The venue, illuminated by numerous electric lights, was described as a &#8220;dazzling city that never sleeps&#8221;; the fact that all the commemorative postcards feature night views of the site suggests that the brilliance provided by electric lighting was a major attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Museum Talk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>*Free (admission ticket required) \u2013 Staff members will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the exhibits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dates: July 20, 2026 (Monday, national holiday), August 22, 2026 (Saturday), and September 6, 2026 (Sunday); all sessions start at 14:00.<br>Venue: Permanent Exhibition Rooms 4 &amp; 5 (2nd Floor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Workshop: &#8220;Try Your Hand at Showa-Era Games!&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>*Free: Come enjoy Showa-era games with our museum volunteers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Date &amp; Time: August 12 (Wed) and 13 (Thu), 2026; 10:00\u201312:00 and 13:00\u201315:00<br>Venue: Hands-on Learning Room (1st Floor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3294,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"exhibition_category":[45],"class_list":["post-3282","exhibition-list","type-exhibition-list","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","exhibition_category-permanent-exhibition"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kmuseum.pref.kagawa.lg.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition-list\/3282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kmuseum.pref.kagawa.lg.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition-list"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kmuseum.pref.kagawa.lg.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition-list"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kmuseum.pref.kagawa.lg.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kmuseum.pref.kagawa.lg.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"exhibition_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kmuseum.pref.kagawa.lg.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition_category?post=3282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
