Nagoya University Museum

Nagoya University Museum is a scientific institution on the Higashiyama Campus with multiple exhibition spaces and a botanical garden. The main hall and specialized galleries throughout the campus display permanent collections focused on different scientific disciplines.

The institution was established in April 2000 as Japan's fifth university museum and includes buildings such as the Furukawa Memorial Hall. These spaces document the university's development and the major research achievements accumulated over its history.

The museum connects scientific research with public learning through regular programs and activities on campus. Visitors experience how the university shares its work with the community through seminars, nature walks, and educational events.

The exhibition spaces are spread across the Higashiyama Campus, so it helps to plan which areas to visit first. A visit works best when you allow time to explore the botanical garden and the different galleries at a comfortable pace.

A dedicated exhibition space showcases the research of four Nobel Prize winners who worked at the university. This display reveals how the institution contributed to scientific breakthroughs recognized at the highest international level.
