A cultural hub for exploring the history, culture, and nature of Minokamo
Minokamo City Museum is a cultural hub where visitors can learn comprehensively about the rich history, culture, and natural environment of Minokamo City, a place shaped by its surrounding mountains and rivers.
It is also an ideal place to start if you want to understand Minokamo beyond the surface.
Through its permanent exhibitions and curated displays, the museum delves deeply into the many different aspects that make this region unique.
In particular, the exhibits on the ecosystems of the Kiso and Hida Rivers, along with the plants and animals of the surrounding satoyama (traditional rural landscape), help visitors gain a deeper understanding of the local natural environment.
In addition to its permanent displays, the museum regularly hosts special and temporary exhibitions focusing on local history, culture, and the arts, so there is always something new to discover whenever you visit.
The museum also actively organizes events such as lectures and hands-on workshops, providing opportunities for citizens and visitors alike to engage with local culture and further deepen their learning.
