Space Exhibit and statue near the entrance way. I think the statue is a copy of a famous statue somewhere else in the world. Anyone know its location?

Some space food in the gift shop for you to take home. Not exactly your regular Conbini Monday items but interesting.

A look at some deep sea robotic machinery. This sub looks awfully small and cramped, but I am sure it is state of the art.

One of the specially crafted ropes to pull up vessels from the sea. Got to be strong to hold a lot of weight. Looks great as well.

A model of future city and technologies that Mitsubishi plays a role in. This model looks a bit like Yokohama Minato Mirai area, but the airport was a surprise!!

These older style aircraft would have been good to fly in. I got my pilots license in a Cessna which was a lot of fun, but haven't kept it current. Maybe I should take a flight in Japan somewhere in a light plane.

It was a great day out, which if we go back to Yokohama we may repeat. Normally I am not a fan of Museums but this one was quite interactive and fun. Do you like Museums with exhibits to just look at, or do you like to play with them?

RT @tweetmeme Mitsubishi Museum, Minato Mirai, Japan Photo-Post | Shibuya246 http://bit.ly/dAXJVb A great place to take the family. And I can imagine they all had a great time including yourself. And always good to learn about new technology. Especially w/the hands on displays.
