Lovely building with various exhibitions in an interesting very modern setting. Enjoyment will depend on whats on, but reasonable prices, great space and welcome made worthwhile for me. Handy lockers for bags and plenty of pace ti not feel crowded.

the pieces displayed outside is good enough for photo taking unless you are keen on contemporary art. the souvenir shop has a good range of selected items, should go. the beef steak a la carte at the restaurant so yummy with sake, must try

Interesting museum with lots to discover and many details. It is quite a popular attraction so best to buy tickets in advance, especially if you want to see the swimming pool exhibition (you need a special reservation).

A bit underwhelmed. Nonetheless it’s a good place to visit in a rainy day. The place was very busy and I had a big expectation. It’s rather small museum and some space are saved for something else. They also had an exhibit that requires additional entrance fee. The exhibition was the works of a member of a boy band. Not sure if it’s worth visiting unless you are a fan of that guy.

Absolutely fun for kids to experience being inside a swimming pool but dry! (Reserve easily online to get a spot). Fee for museum is low and free for kids. Outside are several structures that kids would love to explore. Don’t forget the basement as there are exhibits there as well. The hydraulics elevator is a must for kids interested in mechanics. The modern building itself is fabulous. The museum shops are disappointing (very small and lack selections). Tip: ok to use credit cards! Bring student ID for discounts.
