Meguro History Museum

The Meguro History Museum is a history museum in Nakameguro that traces how the district transformed from a farming community into a modern urban neighborhood. The displays document this change across various time periods.

The museum opened in 2008 in a building that preserves part of a former middle school. This school structure was a community landmark for many years before becoming a cultural facility.

The exhibition halls feature photographs, tools, maps, and personal items that show how people lived in different periods. These objects tell stories about the residents and their daily routines.

The museum sits centrally in Nakameguro and is easy to reach when exploring the neighborhood. Opening hours vary by season, so checking ahead before your visit is worthwhile.

Local residents actively contribute their own objects and stories to the collection, helping keep the area's history alive. This participatory approach makes each exhibition a collaboration between the museum and the community.
