An architectural living museum in Tokyo

Mon, September 14, 2009, by Muza-chan

I wrote some time ago about the buildings covered with copper plates photographed at the Edo Tokyo Open Air Museum.

To my surprise, I’ve discovered a real-life museum on the streets of Ueno. The same shielding with copper plates, developed at the beginning of the 20th century, is still used on these picturesque buildings:

If you want to make this time-travel, here’s the Google Maps location:

Scriam cu ceva timp în urmă despre clădirile acoperite cu plăcuţe de cupru pe care le-am fotografiat la Muzeul Edo Tokyo Open Air.

Spre surprinderea mea, am descoperit un adevărat muzeu viu pe străzile din Ueno. Aceleaşi plăcuţe de cupru, utilizate încă de la începutul secolului al XX-lea, protejează şi astăzi aceste clădiri pitoreşti:
