an installation showing how one mice couple can reproduce so quickly!

this was right next to an installation of how many parasites a whale’s

intestine can host - complete with a formaldehyde-preserved, real

intestine sample as well as a huge, real-life size model intestine

laid out on the wall with parasites on it.

This definitely felt like a museum by scientists. For one good example

some exhibition halls were simply dreadful. some were actually quite

delightfully ‘artistic’ or ‘grotesque’. recommended if the weather is

too bad for being outside & have lots of time to kill in tokyo.
