Acquisition of Various External Funds

While the Museum shares its vast resources extensively with the public, it also aims to obtain various external funds by connecting with firms and society. We also actively utilize external resources and disseminate information about our resources through external companies.

Utilization of Expertise

The Museum seeks to disseminate information to a wide range of people whilst earning its own income at the same time. Museum researchers and staff members are applying their expertise in supervising books, appearing or providing materials for TV programs, and giving lectures in venues other than the Museum. The collaborative wallpaper with Sangetsu won the Kids Design Award in 2024 as well as the iF Design Award in 2025, one of the most prestigious international design awards.

　Facility Rental & Use as Unique Venue

The Museum offers part of its facilities for rental, subject to fees. These include the inside and outside areas of the Japan Gallery building, which is designated as an National Importance Cultural Property, and also the permanent exhibition rooms and conference rooms in Japan Gallery and Global Gallery, as well as the facilities of Institute for Nature Study, Tsukuba Botanical Garden. They are utilized for various purposes, such as international conferences, lectures, and other events, filming dramas and other visual images, and for the favored wedding photo shootings.

Rasing Fund Through Various Methods

We launched the Monthly Supporter Program in April 2024, a continuous
donation program to further expand the circle of support which the Museum
had acquired through our crowdfunding campaign conducted between August
and November in 2023. We will continue to expand the circle of supporters and
deepen our ties to further diversify our financial sources.
