Toh Gen Kyo vol.23 - MIHO MUSEUM


	Each year in spring and autumn, a free special opening is offered to disabled visitors and their attendants (based on reservation). The museum will be closed to the general public on that day, so our visitors can leisurely enjoy the exhibitions and participate in educational programs. The restaurant and café will not be opened, however, drinks will be available in these areas (on a self-service basis). Visitors may also bring their own food.
	Those in need of assistance are asked to come with their attendant. Please call the museum in advance for additional help and services offered. For more information, please contact the MIHO MUSEUM Education Department. Tel.: 0748-82-3411 e-mail:
