If the page shows up as blank blue for you -- as it did for me -- try turning off CSS styles (e.g. View->Page Style->No Style in Firefox). I was able to get the images to load fine that way.

Nice images though, and indeed they do raise questions -- like "What is an AT-AT doing in Tokyo?" Translating 江戸東京博物館 gives "Edo-Tokyo Museum", for anyone else curious.

I highly recommend visiting the Edo-Tokyo Museum. It is full of replica buildings (including a full bridge spanning one of the floors) and super intricate models depicting life in Edo.

Seconded. It's a fantastic museum. And oddly space aged building considering the antique contents...

Located nearby, on a much smaller scale, there's a similar juxtaposition of interesting contemporary architecture and older Japanese art - the Hokusai Sumida museum. For anybody who likes Hokusai's wood-block prints, the one-room permanent exhibition has excellent multimedia content.
