Minato City Local History Museum, Local history museum in Shirokanedai, Japan
The museum displays documents, literature, Ukiyo-e art, and folk equipment excavated from ruins within the grounds of Minato City through permanent exhibitions.
The building, designed by architect Yoshikazu Uchida in 1938, originally served as the Institute of Public Health before its transformation into a museum in 2018.
The permanent exhibition space presents materials about Minato City through three categories: ocean dynamics, urban development, and community life patterns.
Located one minute from Shirokanedai Station, the museum welcomes visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and Sundays, with extended hours until 8:00 PM on Saturdays.
The museum includes a 'Please Touch the Exhibits Room' containing Minke Whale skeletons and Jomon pottery that visitors can physically interact with.
