Kyushu National Museum
The concept of
the museum is “to understand a formation of Japanese culture in the
perspective of Asian history” and there are many valuable exhibits to show
the relationship with Asian countries for a long time. The museum does not
provide any guiding route, so you can start the tour from anywhere you like,
and go back and forth between exhibitions as you wish. On the 1st floor is a
hands-on learning facility of free entrance named Ajippa. Here you can put
on ethnic costumes and play traditional musical instruments from Asian
countries. Free back yard tour starting at 14:00 on Sundays is very popular.
The tour gives you a rare opportunity to see the back scene of a museum with
guidance.
