On July 30, representative teams from around the world who will compete in the World Cosplay Championship—one of the main events of the World Cosplay Summit 2025—visited the Brother Museum. During their visit, they explored the evolution of Brother's product development and learned about the history of sewing machines. They also had hands-on experience with Brother's latest products used in costume creation, including a sewing and embroidery machine, a garment printer, and a home cutting machine.

Many of these devices (with some exceptions) are available for museum visitors to try as part of our permanent exhibition. We invite you to visit the Brother Museum and experience the joy of creativity for yourself.

At the Brother Museum, we've been sharing the history and evolution of Brother's manufacturing over 117 years. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our services, we invite visitors to participate in a short questionnaire.

We're now excited to announce that we've updated the thank-you gift for participants!

The new gift is a set of original stickers, designed and printed using Brother's digital label press, the N730i. There are two exclusive designs: one featuring Brother's early sewing machines—the starting point of our company—and another showcasing some of our current key products. These limited-edition stickers are only available here at the museum.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Brother Museum and hearing your valuable feedback!

At the Brother Museum, we explore the fascinating world of sewing machines from multiple angles—from their history and mechanics to the innovative technology behind Brother products. Our extensive collection, featuring Brother-made machines and rare antique models from around the world, offers a unique opportunity to discover the rich and diverse world of sewing machines.

Now, we're excited to introduce an adorable new addition: toy sewing machines!^* This special exhibit displays about 70 toy sewing machines, including Brother's very own "Baby Brother." As you explore a global collection of these unique models, you'll also gain insight into the historical background and evolution of toy sewing machines.
