What is this exhibition?
“Meitantei Conan” is a legendary manga and anime that debuted in 1994: the schoolboy detective Shinichi Kudo is turned into a child, and he solves crimes under the name Conan Edogawa. Over thirty years, the franchise became one of the most recognizable in Japan and has won fans around the world.
The Detective Conan 30th Anniversary TV Series Exhibition is a jubilee project celebrating three decades of the TV series. It is coming to Southeast Asia for the first time, and Bangkok was chosen as the venue. The exhibition is organized by ICONSIAM together with DEX and ShoPro — the rights holders and distributors of the franchise in the region. For anime fans, it is a chance to get closer to the series’ history, see key scenes and artifacts, and feel the atmosphere of Conan’s detective cases in person. By the way, for Thailand this format is a notable cultural event, since Japanese pop culture has long been popular here.
