Editorial introduction
At just 20 minutes, this is ideal for families already planning a visit to Ueno or the Tokyo National Museum. It shifts children’s attention from the objects inside display cases to the museum buildings themselves, using a quiz and an exploration map to get them observing the Honkan, Hyokeikan, and Kuromon Gate.
