    It should be a great museum with excellent exhibitions, like the one on display now, bu these guys are Covid crazy. The atmosphere of the place is between a cemetery and a North Korean labour camp. Entry only by prior reservation, which would be okay. But the rest is horrible. They line up the visitors like in a prison, temp check and then dead silence inside. Inside there are bio-paranoid guards in mask and face shield reminding the guests all the time to shut up. The covid paranoia spoils the whole experience. Sad.

    What most people are rating is the first floor showroom. The actual museum is on the 4th floor and would only be of interest to those in architecture or house building historians. For the average tourist this is a big disappointment and waste of time. Stick to the first floor to look at neat house appliances and technology. 800 yen wasted.

    A small, intimate, rathet unknown, yet first class, museum that does not overwhelm the visitor with a vast array of objects, but rather distills the essence of an exhibit's theme with a limited number of the very finest works. Many exhibits focus on French or other European arts, often showing their relationship with or effect on Japanese arts. The exhibit on French handpainted pottery was a fine and most memorable example of this. Their exhibition of Japanese tea ceremony iron kettles a few years ago was brilliant! Very comfortable atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Excellent book and gift shop. A quiet and meditative retreat from the city rush. Yet the Panasonic Building is in the midst of a very urban and interesting shopping mall alive with activity. I Iived a long time in Japan and every year, when I go back for a visit, the Shiodome Art Museum is one of my main objectives. A short walk from Shiodome Station on the Oedo subway line or the JR Hamatsu-cho Train Station. Nearby is the elegant traditional Hama Rikkyu strolling Tea Gardens. John

    There is a sign saying photography is allowed at the front door. The staff bothers customers saying you can't take photos. It's unnecessary confusion.

    Not actually a museum so much as a showroom with a few future concepts buts it's 99% Panasonic products currently on the market and no history or evolution like you'd expect from a "museum".

    This museum is okay, but it’s hard to find the way in.

    Feels like a downloaded Wikipedia page. Too small and has less than 10 actual items. Photos not allowed. Skip it

    Panasonic showroom dealing with toilets, kitchens, cupboards etc. Found the toilet part moderately interesting, the rest is probably only of interest for the domestic visitor...

    Visited on a weekday morning. Exhibition on Frank Lloyd Wright was excellent. However, the venue was too small and cramped for the number of visitors, making it difficult to read the descriptions or look at the exhibits. There was also a lack of crowd control. I suggest a timed entry system for more popular exhibitions.

    Good special exhibits throughout the year. English explanations are now also available. A big improvement to benefit foreign visitors.
