The Edo-Tokyo Museum is a history museum dedicated to Japan's metropolis. The museum traces Tokyo's history over a period of more than 400 years, back to the age of ruler Tokugawa Ieyasu, when the city was called Edo. Opened in 1993, the museum has itself become a Tokyo tourist attraction. The permanent exhibition features historical artifacts and replicas and changing exhibitions focus on specific aspects of the city's history.
