Science Tokyo Museum and Archives, Technology museum at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
The Science Tokyo Museum and Archives is a science museum at Tokyo Institute of Technology with two locations. One section is housed in Centennial Hall at the Ookayama Campus, while the other operates from the Frontier Research Center at the Suzukakedai Campus.
The museum was founded in 1987 in Centennial Hall to mark a century of history at Tokyo Institute of Technology. The building complex was designed by architect Kazuo Shinohara.
The collection displays works by alumni and documents how the institution shaped robotics, textile technology, and chemical engineering in Japan. You can see the role these fields played in the country's development.
The museum is open weekdays with the archives operating on a limited schedule. You should check in advance which campus displays your area of interest to plan your visit efficiently.
The unusual form of Centennial Hall with its asymmetrical roofline reminded local residents of the Gundam anime series. This building remains a campus landmark and shows how architecture lives in popular culture.
