Feel free to try on: National Showa Memorial Museum /ご自由にご試着下さい：昭和館

In most of the case in other museums, those try on cloths are gorgeous clothes for historical  lord or princess, or may be  popular uniforms like pilot, flight attendant and police.

At the National Showa Memorial Museum, the visitor can try to put on the clothes ordinary people worn during WWII in Japan, shabby material in sober colors, not too attractive looking, but I think that is exactly the point they were intended.

博物館で試着する展示は通常、華やかな殿様やお姫様の服だったり、パイロットやフライトアテンダントとか警察など、人気のユニフォームだったりします。

昭和館で試着出来るのは戦時中の地味で固い素材の服なので、あまり魅力的とは思えません…しかし、それこそがこの展示の目的なんでしょうね。
