From samurai swords to beautiful kimonos and ancient Buddhist scrolls to interactive displays and much more鈥he museums in Tokyo have a lot to offer. I know I may be in the minority here, but I really enjoy visiting museums (especially art museums) and recapping them on my blog.

(I鈥檓 particularly excited to see聽DMM.Planets Art by teamLab!) I鈥檒l break them up by museum and by what I found most interesting at each spot.

The Tokyo National Museum has been around since 1872 and is one of the largest art museums in the world. It鈥檚 located inside Ueno Park鈥hich has an incredible amount of things to do. There are always festivals going on right across from the museum, there鈥檚 the zoo, several other museums (including The National Museum of Western Art), baseball fields, etc. 鈥� all right in Ueno Park! ......
