Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum

The museum displays scientific instruments, personal belongings, photographs, and research documents belonging to bacteriologist Hideyo Noguchi in multiple exhibition spaces.

The memorial museum opened its doors on May 21, 1939, to preserve the legacy of Dr. Noguchi's groundbreaking research on yellow fever and other tropical diseases.

Exhibits demonstrate the lasting scientific connections between Japan and Ghana, where Dr. Noguchi conducted extensive research on infectious diseases.

The museum includes interactive displays and games that teach visitors about bacteria and medical research through digital technology and multimedia presentations.

A handwritten letter from Noguchi's mother Shika, who taught herself to write specifically to contact her son, remains one of the most moving exhibits.
