Toh Gen Kyo vol.25 - MIHO MUSEUM


	The museum offers free special openings for disabled visitors and their attendants (based on reservation). This event has been popular because our visitors can leisurely enjoy the exhibitions and participate in educational programs on a day that is generally closed to the public.
	The restaurant and café will not be opened, but drinks are available in these areas (on a self-service basis). Visitors may also use the seating area. Those in need of assistance are requested to come with an attendant. Please call the museum in advance for wheel-chair loans and additional assistance from our staff. For more information, please contact the MIHO MUSEUM Education Department. Tel.: 0748-82-3411 e-mail:
