Kamakura Museum of History and Culture

The museum opened in May 2017 as a place where children and adults alike can learn about, experience, and interact with Kamakura's historical and cultural heritage. The history of Kamakura, from primitive and ancient to modern times, is displayed, centering on artifacts excavated in Kamakura. The museum utilizes buildings designed by Foster + Partners, represented by the world-famous architect Norman Foster. Even first-time visitors can enjoy learning about Kamakura through diorama projection mapping and the latest video exhibitions, such as VR. From the special building materials to the medieval landscape garden and the sea view, there is plenty for you to enjoy.
