Ikiyoe: Close to Toys-R-Us on the way to Kureha you can find this museum, which features old pictures.
Suiboku Museum: Just after the big bridge towards Toyama University, if you take a right you will find this museum. There are many pictures here and a lot of calligraphy is featured too.
Tateyama Museum: Here you can view a great (but maybe scary) movie about the history of Tateyama. It tells you about the first person to climb the mountain. Then a short walk from this area you can visit a representation of heaven and hell. The exhibits are quite interesting and if you enjoy modern art you will definitely like this exhibition.
Tonami Museum: Located in the Tonami Tulip Park, this museum often has interesting exhibits of artists from around the world.
Fukumitsu Museum: A small but well-formed museum which gets interesting exhibits.
