A peek to the "Toyotomi Museum" in Nakamura, dedicated to the taiga drama "Brothers in Arms"∼

It's common for pop-up exhibitions related to Sengoku warlords to appear in the areas promoted by the currently aired taiga drama, and Brothers in Arms is no exception.
The Toyotomi Museum set up in the Nakamura Park of Nagoya city is one of those.
The museum opened on January 24 and is scheduled to close on January 11 2027. The ticket costs 800 yen, but it's important to note that out of the three areas of the exhibition, only the one dedicated to the taiga drama requires the entrance fee.

I found an accurate report over Nagoya Tokoton, so I'm just grabbing a few pictures from there for this report. Refer to the original article for more pictures and details!
Maeda Toshiie of the Nagoya Omotenashi Bushotai produced a report tied to the points of interest of Hideyoshi's life in Nagoya, and the blog of the boys gave its contribution too!
I used pictures from all of these selected articles, so make sure to give them a read!

As I mentioned before, the Museum is divided in three areas, the taiga drama area, the Nagoya city collab area and the shop. Out of these, the ticket is required to visit the taiga drama main exhbition only.
The taiga drama exhibit offers photo spots, informative panels about the historical events depicted in the TV series and an exhibit of props used during the filming:
Of course the legendary sandals of Nobunaga are there-- That part in the drama was quite fun!

The costumes are curated by the K&K Brothers, a collective composed by Hideyuki Kurosawa, So Kurosawa (is there a relation to Kazuko Kurosawa? Likely) and Takayuki Kato.
The costume of Nobunaga first "proper" appearance is exhibited, too!
--Definitely going to make a post about Nobunaga's costumes in this drama, so look forward to it.

The collaborative area with Nagoya city is free to visit; I'm not sure if the exhibition is permament or it's supposed to change during the months, but at the moment it's dedicated to the popular Nagoya food in a Sengoku Meshi x Nagoya Meshi theme, exploring the food eaten by the warlords during the Sengoku Era and its relation to the modern Nagoya delicacies.
This is always interesting, and the usual lunches of Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Ieyasu are exhibited.

A fun part of the exhibit, a "Lucky Food Lottery" to select your lucky Nagoya delicacy to try for the day!

In the end, the shop is definitely worth a visit for exclusive merch dedicated to the three warlords, besides the usual Aichi prefecture souvenirs!
