Museum of Science, TUS, Science history museum in Kagurazaka, Japan
The Museum of Science in Kagurazaka displays scientific instruments, documents, and models that trace the path of research and technological progress. The exhibitions show how scientific practices and discoveries evolved across different periods.
The museum opened in 1991 to mark the 110th anniversary of Tokyo University of Science. Its creation was made possible through support from a graduate of the university.
The museum reflects how science shaped Japanese education and continues to connect people with research and discovery. Visitors find themselves in a space dedicated to showing why learning about technology matters to understanding society.
The museum sits near JR Iidabashi Station West Exit and the nearby metro station, making it accessible on foot from either entrance. Visitors can easily orient themselves using these two transport hubs as reference points.
The building itself copies the architectural style of an early Meiji-era academy of physics. This design choice makes the structure itself a part of what is being told about scientific history.
