A museum passing on Nagoya's history to its future

Nagoya City Museum is a history museum which opened in October 1977 as part of a project to commemorate the population of Nagoya City's breaking through the 2 million mark.
Created with the mission of collecting and preserving, as common property of the citizens, historical materials which characterize Nagoya, and passing them on to the citizens of the future, Nagoya City Museum has gathered together more than 270,000 artifacts with approximately 24,000 of them donated from citizens.

An expansive space to relax

With Japanese gardens lain out within the grounds and an outdoor exhibition space that can be used to display sculptures and so on, the museum has been constructed so that visitors can take their time, and it's also popular as a place where people can go and take a break from everyday life. Relax and refresh your body and mind after stimulating your intellectual curiosity.

Gain a deep knowledge of the Owari region in an easy-to-understand way

In the permanent exhibition room, you can learn about the Owari region, where Nagoya is located, through easy-to-understand exhibits. Materials and videos explain Owari's history from the Paleolithic era to its place in modern times. In the special exhibition room, you'll find special exhibitions and rotating exhibits changing multiple times throughout year, offering something new to enjoy each time you come.
