Kawasaki City Museum

The Kawasaki City Museum is an art and local history museum located in Todoroki Ryokuchi with two distinct exhibition sections. It displays photographs, paintings, manga sketches, and graphic art collections alongside materials documenting the region's past.

The museum was designed by architect Kiyonori Kikutake and opened in 1988 as a center for preserving local heritage. Since its establishment, it has developed into an important venue for documenting and communicating the city's history.
