Another day, another art gallery! First stop this morning was the Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art. Here, there was a display based on Pop Art as part of their permanent collection, as well as some other interesting pieces. From there I had a walk through a nearby park to a Subway station, from which I had two changes of train (each after 1 station) and a bit of a walk to get to Odabia - a waterfront collection of "islands" which are home to both high-tech and old industrial companies.
First stop was the Panasonic building, which showcased new technology, green solutions and some science and maths puzzles. I then walked over the the Fuji TV building, and saw displays on lots of TV programmes I could never hope to understand! To get back to the "mainland" I took a ferry bus across the bay, which gave some good views as the sun started to go down.
Final destination of the day was the Advertising Museum of Tokyo. This gave a history of advertising in Japan, along with the best of current adverts and a huge archive of adverts from around the world. If it hadn't have closed at 6:30 I would have been there all night! As it was I called in at a nearby Sushi restaurant for tea, before heading back to the hotel.
