National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo - by なかまり on Google
Description
The National Museum of Nature and Science is housed in a Neo-Renaissance building in Ueno Park, in central Tokyo. There are thousands of exhibits spanning dinosaurs, Japanese ecosystems, outer space (there is also a dome for astronomical observation) and modern technologies organized into a Japan Gallery focused on the nature and history of the Japanese archipelago, and a Global Gallery that explores the history of life on earth.
Access & Transport
The museum is located at the northeast corner of Ueno Park, together with several other museums. It is almost right next to Ueno Station with its multiple train lines and 2 metro lines (G, H).
Instructions & Recommendations
We suggest combining this attraction with a walk in Ueno park and a visit to either a second museum or, for families, the Ueno Zoo.
Environmental & Social
Educational and marginal environmental impact (electricity)
