"Dangerous Creatures" Special Moves = The "Serious" Power to Survive in a World of Survival of the Fittest
TBS Gloudia will be holding a special exhibition, "Extremely Dangerous Creatures: Tackling the Serious Nature of Living Creatures with Science," at the National Museum of Nature and Science (Ueno Park, Tokyo) from Saturday, March 14, 2026 to Sunday, June 14, 2026.
This exhibition introduces "dangerous creatures" – creatures whose ecology and abilities sometimes pose a threat to humans – and elucidates their hidden "special moves" from a scientific perspective. There are many creatures on Earth that possess incredible abilities or "special moves" for the purpose of "eating" or "protecting themselves."
The "Extremely Dangerous Creatures Exhibition" focuses on the "special moves" of "dangerous creatures" that humans cannot defeat, and uses the power of science to uncover their secrets, from the amazing ecology of dangerous creatures that you may not know about to the hidden dangers of familiar creatures.
The exhibits at the Dangerous Creatures Research Institute, which is made up of eight laboratories, will stimulate your intellectual curiosity about the mystery and depth of life, and allow you to experience the power of dangerous creatures.
Welcome to the Secret Dangerous Biology Laboratory!
[Highlights]
1. The trunk of an African elephant, which generates its incredible strength, is recreated in 3D using anatomy and the latest holographic technology!
② Enlarging dangerous microscopic creatures such as ticks and chiggers! Uncovering their secrets through science
3. The internal power generation mechanism of organisms that use electricity as a weapon is now fully visible using the latest transparent specimen technology!
4. We've carefully selected and showcased some of the most dangerous creatures and their killer moves from over 40 years of rare footage filmed across five continents and seven oceans!
■Area A "Human attack type dangerous creatures"
We will introduce creatures that use their own bodies as the ultimate weapon.
Lab 1: Power Fighter Type
Giant creatures such as African elephants and green anacondas. Discover the overwhelming power they generate.
Lab 2: Killer Bite Type
Tigers, great white sharks, and other wild animals that use their sharp fangs to kill their prey are all gathered together! Which creature has the strongest bite?
Lab 3: Weapon Type
Sharp horns, claws, thorns, scissors, hammers, and even saws. We take a closer look at the mysteries of dangerous creatures whose body parts can be used as weapons.
Lab 4: Swarm
At first glance, they may look like small insects or fish, but when they gather in groups, they swallow everything and become a tremendous threat.
■Area B "Special attack type dangerous creatures"
We will introduce creatures that have special abilities that go beyond physical attacks and that humans cannot imitate.
Lab 5: Highly toxic type
Scientific analysis of the toxins found in various organisms, from insects and reptiles to mammals.
Lab 6: Chemical Attack Type
These creatures have special moves that are like something out of a chemistry experiment, such as powerful farts, 100°C hot gas, and highly acidic gastric juices.
Lab 7: Electric Type
Creatures such as electric eels use electricity as a weapon. Their amazing power generation mechanisms are on display in special transparent specimens.
Lab 8: Bloodsucking
This book clearly explains not only how blood-sucking creatures work, but also the dangers of infectious diseases they transmit.

Comment from original author Hojo Tsukasa
"City Hunter" has been able to celebrate its 40th anniversary thanks to all the fans who have supported it up until now. I hope that this exhibition of original drawings will allow you to feel even a little of the passion of the era in which Ryo and Kaori lived, as well as the feelings I put into the work. I hope that you will continue to keep their story alive in your hearts.
An immersive experience in the world of City Hunter
This is the real City Hunter. Over 400 original drawings, the largest collection ever, will pierce your heart!
This exhibition, which is comprised of seven chapters, follows the journey of City Hunter's Ryo Saeba and Kaori Makimura, from their fateful meeting, to the trust they built with their unique colleagues and clients, and how Ryo and Kaori came to recognize each other as irreplaceable partners.

The series was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 to 1991, and celebrated its 40th anniversary on February 26, 2025.

This stamp rally is a project where participants can complete their own original "tenugui" hand towel while visiting places associated with Tsutaya Juzaburo, who supported the publishing culture of Edo. Starting at the "Berabou Edo Taito Taiga Drama Museum" in Taito Ward, participants will be able to stamp their tenugui with stamps placed at various locations while strolling around tourist spots, mainly in the Asakusa area.
To participate in the stamp rally, you will need to enter the "Berabou Edo Taito Taiga Drama Museum" (fees apply). After entering the museum, please inform the Taiga Drama Museum reception that you would like to participate in the stamp rally. You will be given a "tenugui" hand towel and a "walking map."
With a walking map in hand, you can visit places associated with Tsutaya Juzaburo and get stamps to create your own one-of-a-kind original tenugui.
Through this project, visitors will be able to experience the history and culture of Edo, the time when Tsutaya Juzaburo lived, and enjoy the new charms of Taito Ward.

[Exhibition Overview]
This exhibition will trace the interests and expressive challenges of Impressionist painters such as Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, and Cézanne regarding the theme of interiors, through approximately 100 works, including around 70 masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, known as the "Hall of Fame of Impressionism," as well as important works from Japan and abroad.
This is the first time in about 10 years that the Musée d'Orsay's Impressionist collection has come to Japan on this scale.
This will be a valuable opportunity to experience the new charm of Impressionism from an "interior" perspective.

The National Museum of Nature and Science will hold the special exhibition "Quantum Century" from Tuesday, October 21st to Sunday, November 30th, 2025 (Reiwa 7), as detailed below.
Poster visual for the special exhibition "Quantum Century"
About 100 years ago, a theory developed by physicists brought about a major revolution in human knowledge of nature.
The name of this theory is "quantum mechanics." It is the foundation of modern science, and through its applications, it is the driving force behind changes in our lives and society.
The year 2025 will be the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IQY), marking the first century of quantum mechanics. This exhibition will introduce the essence of quantum mechanics theory and portray the progress of this theory as the challenge taken on by scientists fascinated by the mysterious mechanisms of the natural world.
The museum will exhibit a portrait of Einstein with a handwritten message, newly acquired and on display for the first time, as well as letters from Heisenberg, Dirac, and others, as well as valuable materials on scientists involved in the development of quantum physics (some of which are reproductions).The museum will also feature hands-on exhibits on physical phenomena that allow visitors to learn about concepts of quantum mechanics, such as "Schrödinger's cat" and "quantum entanglement," through hands-on experience.

Exhibition Introduction
Part I The birth of quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics did not suddenly emerge in its entirety 100 years ago. Key ideas were gradually developed from around the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. However, the momentum in the mid-1920s was incredible, and the basic framework of the theory was discovered within just two years from 1925. However, this was only the beginning of an investigation into the mysterious "mysteries" of the natural world.

Part II The Challenge of Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics has provided an extremely accurate explanation for phenomena at various levels in the natural world. Technologies that apply this knowledge are the foundation of our society. While the mysterious properties of the natural world revealed by the theory are being explored, efforts to actively utilize it to create unprecedented technologies are attracting attention. The story of quantum mechanics may have only just begun.

Exhibition curator
Department of Science, Physics and Chemistry Group Researcher Hiroto Kono
I specialize in the history of science, particularly the history of modern and contemporary physical science. I am particularly interested in the history of physics in Japan since the Meiji period, and my research focuses on the dynamism of academic formation through the analysis of academic theories and international comparisons. In recent years, I have been investigating the formation process of condensed matter physics in Japan.
