This smart new exhibition explores the car as a ‘mobile cell’. Unique Japanese car design is here showcased by Kenya Hara, the man behind MUJI, and Shigeru Ban, a top Japanese architect currently designing a new satellite gallery in Metz for Paris’ Pompidou Centre.

Japan Car – Mobile Cell is sponsored by seven Japanese car manufacturers, and shows how Japan’s culture and high population influence car design. Exploring three themes (size, environment and the moving urban cell) the exhibition looks ahead to the future of transport in cities.

The Science Museum suggests 60 minutes to explore the ‘designs for the crowded globe’ and tickets are £8 for adults, £6.25 for concessions.
