The permanent exhibition, they have in the basement, is very nice. It does have some tiny problem areas like creaky mirrors and leaky pumps, but still good.
I decided to visit it as they showcased Japanese architecture there. As the first visitors for it, I was left with way too many questions.
The signage for the exhibition was poor. In the middle they had 20 different projects but the signs in English and Estonian were placed in a way that you would not clearly understand which visual project they belong to. In addition most graphs and items were not translated at all from Japanese and the copy quality was so poor that you couldn't properly understand the foggy kanji even if you were native in Japanese. Also the staff members didn't show much understanding of the event as they failed to turn on so the TVs with the videos and even with the help of IT support failed to turn on simple Android tablets.
In conclusion, the permanent exhibition is good, but not worth that much money by itself, but the Japanese expo felt like rude half-baked thing and as a person living in Japan, I found it even offensive. Not that well organized.
