Interesting museum close to the harbor! It shows a lot of history about red brick buildings around the world as well as Maizuru as Naval Base City in Japan. Tips: buy a Maizuru One Day Pass for 1,000¥ and you can freely enter public places, including this museum, plus return by bus on certain routes.

They're awfully proud of being a museum that showcases bricks 🧱 and bricks only. Give it a chance and you'll see why. Whatever you thought you needed to know about bricks 🤔🧱, they have it. How bricks are made? Why bricks are important to civilized societies? Which famous architectural buildings around the world 🌎 feature bricks? Which famous Japanese buildings are made of bricks? Why bricks are the size that they are right now? What are the different ways to lay bricks to build a wall? What are the different brick related puzzles like tangrams you could play ▶️ with? All in all, a wonderful place to learn a whole lot more about this non-assuming item.

Nice museum, with a combination of architectural and local naval base history. The name of the museum is a bit too simple. Nice views of Maizuru bay from the second floor.

Unusual little find. We are from Portsmouth which is twinned with Maizuru as we donated a brick from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. As we were in the area, we though it fitting to go and find this brick. Quite a quirky little museum, it has bricks from all over the world, and also from significant historical buildings such as Auschwitz. Would have stayed longer if we had time.

It’s only 400 yen The museum consists of two floor Mainly about the red brick in Japan and some in other countries Worth to have a look
