Back at the Miraikan in Odaiba

It's been over five years since since I first posted photos of the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Odaiba. The main hall with its giant globe is visually stunning and always fascinating. I'm quite sure that the pictures I've taken don't capture the scale and it's unique qualities.

Have you seen Asimo?

Last year the family visited National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Odaiba.  Miraikan has been closed since the 11 March 2011 earthquake, but is scheduled to reopen on Saturday, 11 June 11 at 10:00. 

 It's one of the great museums in the Tokyo area and has great hands on technology exhibits.  There are plenty of robots, computers and machines that you can interact with. 

One of the more interesting exhibits was a performance by Honda's fabulous ASIMO robot. It's amazing to think that the technology in this robot is already over 10-years old.
