Tucked within the KITTE complex at the historic JP Tower, Intermediatheque is a spellbinding, free-admission museum operated in collaboration with the University of Tokyo. Stepping inside reveals an extraordinary 19th-century wunderkammer packed with dramatic animal skeletons, mineral specimens, vintage scientific apparatus, and artifacts ranging from Egyptian mummies to Greco-Roman coins. The atmospheric dark-wood display cases and moody lighting evoke the romantic age of exploration right in the heart of modern Tokyo. It is an unforgettable hidden treasure for anyone enchanted by natural history, archaeology, and design.
