Hokkaido University Museum, University museum in Sapporo, Japan.
The Hokkaido University Museum is a university museum in Sapporo housing about four million objects in its collections. The exhibitions span multiple halls and present materials gathered for both research and public learning.
The museum opened in 1999 to make the university's collections available to the public. Its holdings trace back to 1876 when Sapporo Agricultural College, the institution's predecessor, was established.

Plan to spend time moving through the different exhibition areas at your own pace. Stairs and elevators connect the levels, and staff members are helpful if you need guidance with directions.
A dedicated area lets visitors explore collection objects directly using all their senses. Trained volunteers provide hands-on demonstrations and explanations throughout your visit.
