This museum puts on slightly quirky, fun exhibits. It also houses an amazing genuine historic Chinese house which was disassembled and reconstructed using traditional technology (no nails) in the museum courtyard.
DIY origami area
From rongo rongo
This museum does a lot to encourage kids and others to get to know the art through activities like folding origami. They even have a bunch of wires with clips so that you can display your handiwork.
installation
From rongo rongo
The art in the cabinet is origami lips that move when your turn the handle. I selected this location to install my faux art because it offered a nice flat surface.

There were a lot of visitors taking in the exhibit.
big squid
From rongo rongo
This is an example of some of the non-traditional origami art. The ship and kraken are actually attached to each other, and the entire thing is made out of one large piece of paper.
dragon
From rongo rongo
This is another piece of origami on display. The dragon is holding a small origami shape in its hand.
rabbits

I didn't want to carry a sketchbook only for the purpose of smuggling in faux art. These rabbits are part of a tiny decorative Japanese artifact.
