Kyushu 2023 - Nagasaki Gunkanjima Digital Museum

This is what the Gunkanjima Digital Museum looked like from the outside. Rather plain and boring. Frankly I went back to visit since it was included in our ticket to visit the island itself. Since it was free, I shouldn't waste the opportunity, right? But I was glad I went back. The museum was pretty cool!

 

Above was one of y favourite exhibition, cool photos of the island. And since it was a digital museum, there were also a lot of electronic display of the place. Everything looked rather futuristic inside. It was almost of a different world inside, although quite a gloom one because of the abandon nature of the island. The drone videos and photos were just haunting.

There were also a lot of exhibition about the nature and history of the island. Very detailed!

And another of my favourite was the living unit of the people on the island. They have life size model of it in the museum. And although it was small since they have to fit so many workers on the island, it was modern as the wealth of the workers could be seen by the coloured TV set in each unit, lol!

There was also a corner dedicated to all the movies shot on the island, especially the super famous ones like Skyfall and Attack of Titans. They show you the scenes of the movie featuring the island too.

You could even cosplay Attack of Titans at the museum. Costumes were provided, as well as set for you to take photos at. I think it's pretty cool, but I always have hygiene phobia whenever I see such shared clothing, lol. 

And lastly, my ultimate favourite display was of Gansho-kun's Room, the mascot of Gunkanjima! Yes, the poo looking mascot. I find him so super cute and hilarious! I mean, imagine being condemned to carry the whole island city on you for the rest of your life like a waist bag or a big mexican hat on your head! Hahahahaha.

Here  you go. I bet this was catered to kids. But I love it!

And there were kid's drawing and exhibition  more for kids here in Gansho-kun's room.

All the drawing so hilarious too.

Super educational for the kids!

There were also beanies and kids could just sit there like they were in a living room. It was all just so inviting and cosy! Even for me! Good job museum!

Hahahaha, this is a curtain holder clip of Gansho-kun! Look at him! Cracks me up every time!

But at last, all good things must come to an end. We stopped by the cafe for a drink and bid farewell to Gansho-kun eventually :(  Please visit him if you're ever in Nagasaki! Gunkanjima is an unforgettable place to visit too! You will not regret it!
