Kushiro City Museum


Kushiro City Museum is a registered museum in Kushiro, Hokkaidō, Japan. The Museum's predecessor institution, the Kushiro City Folk Museum, began as an exhibition room at the offices of the local water board in 1936, before moving to a department store, then from 1949 to the relocated former Kushiro City Police Station. Upon completion of the new, dedicated museum building in 1983, the museum was renamed the Kushiro City Museum. The displays centre around the geology, flora and fauna, and history of the area, with exhibits including the fossil jaw from which the Kushiro tapir :ja:クシロムカシバク| was described as well as Jōmon, Satsumon, and Ainu materials.
