Suosittelen! Osa museosta oli suljettu remontin takia, mutta näyttelyt japanilaisista henkiolennoista (yokai) ja Meksikon historiasta olivat niin mielenkiintoisia ja hyvin toteutettuja, että niiden läpikäymiseen meni monta tuntia. Lapset ja nuoret oli otettu toteutuksessa hyvin huomioon ja viihtyivät myös.

This is a very nice small museum. When visited it had four exhibitions: Japanese Yokai art; Viva Mexico; the Benin exhibition; and a collection of world objects. The Yokai exhibition was by far the most carefully curated with great narration throughout and strong links between Yokai that started in 15th century Edo in Japan to today’s Manga art. There are limited woodcut paintings and some figurines but the rest are reproductions. This was disappointing. The Viva Mexico was displayed in Spanish and Swedish only with the option of scanning a QR code for the English version. The exhibits varied from Day of the Dead reproduction prints and some original figurines to Aztec and Maya artifacts, a VR display that had very limited interaction and other random artifacts. Overall this exhibit seemed rushed and incomplete. The Benin exhibition was ok given the history of these artifacts and the call for returning them to the original owners. The collection of world objects seem like a project for students in archaeology but for the uninitiated the lack of narrative and curation makes the collection look like a library with no notation of which books to look for! Again, it seems the museum is in need for more competent curation.

Uppskattade besöket mycket! Bra utställningar. Blev dock besviken på att de använt sig av ai bilder på ett ställe utan för Yokai utställningen.
