PANTHEON
Intermediatheque opened its doors on March 21, 2013, innovatively bridging various forms of media with the aim of becoming a hub for the dissemination of academic and cultural information. On April 18, 2026, thirteen years after its inauguration, the cumulative number of visitors to this unique facility surpassed the 5 million mark.
To celebrate this significant milestone with everyone, we will launch a collaborative creative event. The “Strata Chronica – Sand Layers of Time” invites visitors to help create a symbolic installation using sand samples collected from various locations by researcher of the University of Tokyo. We invite you to entrust your time and presence to the sand as you layer it into large glass jars previously used for university experiments. In this context, sand is not only a symbol of time, but it also serves as a medium connecting our visitors with the museum. Once the jars are filled, they will be placed on permanent display at the Intermediatheque in commemoration of this milestone, preserved for future generations.
Organizer: The University Museum, The University of Tokyo
*This event will end when all the jars have been filled with sand.
