The Kadokawa Musashino Museum (director: Akira Ikegami) is a cultural complex that merges library, art museum, and natural history museum functions. Under the supervision of first director/editorial engineer Seigo Matsuoka, naturalist Hiroshi Aramata, architect Kengo Kuma, and art education specialist Shingo Jinno, the museum disseminates culture across a spectrum from mainstream to pop culture. The 1st floor features the "Grand Gallery," the largest exhibition space in the museum, and the "Manga & Light Novel Library," housing over 40,000 comics and light novels. The 2nd floor serves as the entrance, with ticket counters and more. On the 4th floor, you can enjoy areas where library, museum, and art functions are all mixed together, including "Edit Town - Book Street," where about 25,000 books selected and supervised by Seigo Matsuoka are lined up; "Aramata Wonder Hihokan," a collection of diverse exhibits supervised by Hiroshi Aramata; "Edit & Art Gallery," a next-generation gallery where objects, works, and words come together to create new value; and "Bookshelf Theater," a library space surrounded by giant (about 8-meter-high) bookshelves, where projection mapping is also shown. The 5th floor houses the "Musashino Gallery" and "Musashino Corridor," where books are gathered and exhibitions are held. Don't miss the one-of-a-kind experiences you can have here.
