The exhibition of the paper model ships

04/Jul/1999

Last week, I went to the Modern Transportation Museum (at OSAKA) with my son.
The second railway museum in Japan, the "Modern Transportation Museum" was founded in 1962, reflecting the rapid technological progression made by the railway at that time and emphasizing the future of the railway.
Over the years, the museum has also come to Focus on the historical and cultural aspects of the railway, and today is operated by the West Japan Railway Company.
Then, "The exhibition of the paper model ships" is held there.
There are 30 models of ship.  These models were maded by Japanese model ship enthusiast.
I knew that these were made of the paper, and I was very much surprised.
Please visit this museum if there is a schedule that you visit Osaka in this period .
