Empty university museum

In the five month since my last visit to the small, must-see Meiji university museum, the museum shop has apparently closed. It was a full fledge museum shop with original artifacts at less than average prices. What has not changed is the emptiness of the place. I brought P. to the visit and we were alone for the 15 minutes we spent there. The torture instruments and the guillotine made their expected effect. The university must have spent considerable money for this small scale museum set in the basement of an impressive steel and glass tower. A considerable amount of money to make it look like a real museum.



The museum is located in the Meiji University Academy Common building seen in reflection on this picture.
