I can see what you are trying to do, give us a more modern look with an interesting background. The opening page background of the blurred cherry blossom must be a mystery to most new users. 
I can read the words in either black or red, no problem, but.
There is too much on the first page, too much small detail and repeated links. A valiant attempt at modernisation but I think it's back to the drawing board.

Dear all,

As you are probably aware we are working on a new website for the museum.
However progress is very slow mainly because other things, like running the museum, keep getting in the way. I hope soon to be able to make the address 
of the draft version available to all for comments.
In the meantime I've made a few alterations to our homepage which hopefully make it look a little more modern and more helpful to visitors. Namely these are a photographic backdrop and a Google site search for the museum's pages. 

This can be viewed by following this link

I would value your feedback on readability and usefulness before going live with these changes. Please note the changes will only affect the front page 
- the rest of the site will remain as it is now. The front page appearance
will vary depending on what size your browser window opens at but I have
tried to design it so that it looks good in a variety of common sizes.

I look forward to your comments.

Chris
