On the morning of the 30th, just one night after it was reported that Mr. Masukawa had died on the 23rd of this month, the Science Museum posted the obituary of Mr. Masukawa and the message that Mr. Masukawa sent when he became the honorary director. ..
At the Science Museum, there is an exhibition that introduces the achievements and research contents of the Nobel Prize winners related to Aichi Prefecture, and the research contents and award records of Mr. Maskawa are also recorded.
A woman in her thirties who came to see the exhibition with her family said, "I'm sorry that a person who can be said to be a treasure in Aichi Prefecture has passed away. I hope my children will be interested in science."
Masao Suzuki, Chief of the Arts and Sciences Division, Nagoya City Science Museum, said, "I think it is Nagoya's pride that Professor Maskawa was also studying in Nagoya. It is important for many people to know that it is important to continue such research. I think we will carry on the thoughts of Professor Maskawa. "
