3 things to do in this museum:

2. Visit the free section, where the local performer can explain to you how the weaving or designing of wooden blocks are made.
3. Visit the Exhibition Hall (with a fee of 200 yen). During my visit it was about the History of Hakata (1F) and transformation of Hakata Station (2F).
Learn more about the Yamakasa summer festival.
