Kobe Lamp Museum, Glass and lamp museum in Kyōmachi, Japan.

The Kobe Lamp Museum (神戸らんぷミュージアム) was a museum on the second and third floors of the Create Kobe building in Kyōmachi, Chūō-ku, Kobe, open from 1999 until 28 February 2022. Its main route, the "Akari Museum Walk", led through galleries A to H, from the first encounters between people and light through the first lights, candlelight, the lighting of the Meiji Enlightenment and the great revolution in lighting to the city's own lamps. The 2,330 m² museum was designed by Dentsu and held the Akagi Collection inherited from the former Kitano Lamp Museum.

The museum was established in 1999 and documents the progression of lighting methods from traditional Japanese lanterns to modern systems. It grew from an interest in how technology shaped daily life and changed the way people lived and worked.

The museum displays both Eastern and Western lamp designs, showing how different societies created lighting solutions based on their own needs and preferences. Walking through the galleries, you notice how design choices reflect each region's climate, materials, and daily life.

The museum occupied the second and third floors of the Create Kobe building at 80 Kyōmachi, a five-minute walk from the Kaigan Line's Kyūkyoryūchi-Daimarumae station and eight minutes from Motomachi. It closed permanently on 28 February 2022, and its collection was transferred to the Lamp Museum in Obuse, Nagano Prefecture.

The museum's collection came from the former Kitano Lamp Museum as the Akagi Collection. After a temporary closure from April 2013 to July 2018, it reopened with a panel room on Kobe's city lights and power restoration over seven days after the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, plus projection mapping of the former foreign settlement. It closed permanently on 28 February 2022, and its holdings were transferred to the Akari Museum in Obuse, Nagano.
