This is an indication that the sanatorium is putting effort into preserving materials and historical sites, promoting awareness through exhibitions and lectures, and interacting with the local community.

The number of these museum facilities now stands at 14. Each group carries out unique activities centered around the origins, lifestyle, and culture of sanatoriums. Sanatoriums have a unique history, and the significance of the existence of these facilities that preserves this history and passes it on to society is extremely important.
This exhibition will introduce museum facilities from all over the country in the hopes of deepening understanding of the history of each sanatorium and promoting efforts to preserve materials and historic sites, spread awareness, and interact with local communities.
