摘要

In this February, the entrance hall of our STRL building was refurbished so as to make it a pleasant place for visitors. Experience exhibits researched by our laboratories are arranged around a cafe located in an open area at the center of the hall. The interactive exhibits are designed to familiarize visitors, from children to elderly people, with our broadcast technology. Visitors, furthermore, can enjoy past programs archived by NHK. Viewers are able to retrieve any desired program from among about seven thousand collections of the archives. Entry to the hall is free and we welcome everyone to visit the hall. We hope that experiences in the hall provide further understanding of the public nature of our work.
