I found it interesting because of the models of older ships and the
Antarctic research ship moored outside.

People keep telling me that the Transport Museum near Akihabara is fun,
but I haven't got around to going there yet. There's the Edo Tokyo
Museum at Ryokoku, with the added advantage you might get to see sumo
wrestlers in the streets outside (thinks: what do they use as
umbrellas?). And there's a memory stirring of a new-ish old-Edo museum
maybe near the Kiyosumi Park in Fukagawa that I was taken to in a group
but I forgot to note where we were being led....
