Special Opening for Disabled Visitors
Monday, May 19, 2008

The nonprofit organization Shumei International hosts a free special opening for disabled visitors and their attendant (reservations required). The museum will be closed to the general public on that day, so those with disabilities can leisurely enjoy the MIHO MUSEUM and participate in educational programs. Although the restaurant and café will be closed, drinks will be available on a self-service basis in these areas, which can also be used for resting.

Those in need of attendance are asked to come with their attendant. For those requiring special assistance, please call the museum for the various services we offer. For more information, please contact NPO Shumei International.
