Dear Museum-L Colleagues:
I have compiled a list of homepages of Japanese museums, all opened last year.

nary or a Japanese friend at your hand! New findings shall follow in the Museu

Yokogawa Measurement Instruments Inc.'s Virtual Museum
http://www.yokogawa.co.jp
Toshiba Science Museum, Kawasaki (Toshiba Corp.)
http://www.toshiba.co.jp
Yokogawa Inc. are supposed to open their corporate museum in their head office
s in Mitaka, Tokyo some years ahead, but exact year has not been decided yet.
However, they have opened their homepage on their parent company's site on the
web and exhibiting their real collections of sophisticated measurement device
s. They have around 4,000 devices, which include gifts from the GE and the Smi
thsonian. Amazingly, our homepages of museums have just started last year and
it is becoming a boom now. As you can see, if you dare to open,they are still
in their early years. Do cannot expect the same design quality which you find
in those Sony things in your high street shops.
Anyway Yours Truly will catch up the wave for you.
Your humble student,
Yasui Ryo
