Seto Ohashi Commemorative Hall and Exhibition Space
The Seto Ohashi Bridge stands as one of the largest civil engineering projects of the 20th century. The Seto Ohashi Commemorative Hall was built to celebrate its completion and opening to highway and railway traffic. Here you can enjoy informative moving dioramas and instructional images introducing the history and process of the bridge’s construction. The Commemorative Hall features four exhibition rooms, the Bridge Theater, a roof-top observation platform, and much more. Feel as if you have entered another dimension as you seeming fly over the Seto Ohashi in the Bridge Theater’s stunning 360º film introduction featuring intense multi-audio sound effects! There are many other impressive sites to see, including large-scale bridge construction machinery on view in the Exhibition Plaza nearby.
Please do not forget to visit our Museum Shop, where you can buy outstanding souvenirs from Kagawa.
