A fact from Osaka Maritime Museum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 May 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Osaka Maritime Museum %28pictured%29 is a geodesic dome that sits out in Osaka Bay and is accessed by an underwater tunnel?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/May.

Wikipedia

In the beginning

I've spent this evening drawing the sources together for this article and creating the stub. I expect to expand it over the next week or so using the references I've gathered, hence why they're all squashed in at the moment. Please, come and help!

In the end

The museum closed in 2013, and there is a single line in the first section to say so, with a reference (6). However, the description of the contents of the museum was still written in the present tense; this is no longer appropriate so I have changed it all to the past tense. Also added a few words more to explain why it closed. Regards 1.115.8.118 (talk) 16:45, 6 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Diagram please

It is requested that an architectural diagram or diagrams be included in this article to improve its quality. Specific illustrations, plots or diagrams can be requested at the Graphic Lab.
For more information, refer to discussion on this page and/or the listing at Wikipedia:Requested images.

I am in the process of developing this article (and trying to get others to help me) but think it would really benefit from a sketch or diagram to explain the site layout - it's quite complicated as there is a dome 15m out of the bay that is connected to land by an underwater tunnel. Something based on one of the following (copyrighted) images would be awesome:

Page 1 of this pdf has a simple layout at the bottom of the page

This book page has a plan and section through the site

The museum website has a 3D view towards the bottom of the page

Fingers crossed someone can help. Thanks, Bigger digger (talk) 22:01, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
