Many authors have depicted visions of the future in science fiction stories, manga and film. Later, science and technology realized those visions.
The manga artist Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989), released Captain Atom in 1951. The following year he started a series entitled Atom in which Tezuka carved out his new robot with the cordial understanding of a human being. Atom began airing in Japan as the first domestically produced animated cartoon in 1963 in Japan and was known as Astro Boy abroad. |

 |
| This exhibition will trace the Japanese robot chronicles during the last eighty years focusing on the history of Atom and the development of the robot industry in three parts; Chapter 1: Genesis, Chapter 2: Atom Big Bang, and Chapter 3: For the Future. The exhibition will begin as a celebration of Atom's first birthday on April 7, 2004. |
