Fukuoka City Archaeological Center, Archaeological museum in Hakata-ku, Fukuoka, Japan

The Fukuoka City Archaeological Center is a steel-reinforced concrete building of three floors, partly two, with 10,713 square metres of floor space in Hakata-ku. It holds three exhibition rooms, six storage rooms, a special storage room for wooden objects, a records store, wood and metal conservation rooms, a restoration room and a library. It stands next to Itazuke Junior High School, about 1.2 km from the Kinmeku site and 1.4 km from the Itazuke site.

The center opened on February 22, 1982, after planning began in 1978 to gather artifacts and records previously scattered across storage facilities in Fukuoka. Construction started in December 1980 on land sold off from a former Japan Ground Self-Defense Force vehicle training ground and was completed in October 1981. The building was extended in March 1986 and again in April 1999, when it was renovated.

The center's three exhibition rooms present finds from excavations across Fukuoka, including the nearby Itazuke and Kanenokuma sites, which lie about 1.4 km and 1.2 km away. The building also holds six storage rooms, a special store for wooden objects, and restoration laboratories, so the displays draw on material kept and treated on site.

The center is open from 9:30 to 17:00, with last entry at 16:30, and closes on Mondays and from December 28 to January 4. It has parking for 4 large buses and 37 private cars. It is next to I-Aida Junior High School, about 1.2 km from the Kanenokuma site and 1.4 km from the Itazuke site.

The center maintains working laboratories where specialists examine and restore ancient pottery, bone, and other materials from excavations. Visitors can sometimes observe this conservation work in progress, showing how modern scientific methods help reveal details invisible to the naked eye.
