Cool Architecture in Tokyo - Museum of Maritime Science

Thu, October 22, 2009, by Muza-chan

As you already know, I like modern buildings, with unusual or daring designs, and for this reason Odaiba is one of my favorite places.
Actually, even the first building ever built in Odaiba, in 1974, had an unusual design: Fune no Kagakukan (Museum of Maritime Science).

The building’s architecture was inspired after the famous luxury liner Queen Elizabeth II.

The Museum of Maritime Science is a marine and nautical culture museum, I enjoyed a lot the descriptions and the history of ships and even a ship handling simulator. ;)

The ship’s funnel is actually an observatory, offering a superb view:

Some of my Gundam photos were taken from here:

And here’s the Google Maps/Street location:

Îmi plac clădirile moderne, cu forme neobişnuite sau îndrăzneţe şi de aceea Odaiba este unul dintre locurile mele preferate.
De fapt, prima clădire care a fost construită aici, în 1974, a fost o clădire cu o arhitectură deosebită: Fune no Kagakukan (Museum of Maritime Science).

Clădirea muzeului a fost inspirată după celebrul transatlantic Queen Elizabeth II.

Este un muzeu de cultură maritimă unde m-am delectat cu informaţii despre construcţia şi istoria navelor şi chiar şi cu un simulator de conducere a navelor. ;)

În locul coşului, clădirea are un turn de observaţie, care oferă o privelişte superbă.

Câteva din fotografiile mele cu Gundam au fost făcute de aici:
