In a city where out-of-towners love to lap up the ideas of the future, there are some forward-thinking museums that locals like to keep to themselves. This under-the-radar museum is one of them, and despite its lack of renown (rarely listed in guidebooks and meekly promoted in English), it’s regarded by its regular visitors as one of the best science attractions in the city. Focusing on social issues like future living and an aging society, it’s a space where curious students come to learn about the world developing before them. Get a full-body scan and a reading of your stress levels (they should be low, given the lack of crowds here), learn how automated mobility pushers could change independent living for the elderly, fly a mini drone, and watch a 3D printer in action – all for free. It’s criminally underrated. dragging your buddies to the Manga Generator photo booth to create a manga-likeness of you all.
