The Kurashiki City Mabi Hometown History Museum is a local history museum in Kurashiki that documents the story of the Mabi region through permanent exhibitions and seasonal displays.

The museum was founded in 1994 and preserves records of how the area developed from ancient times to the present. Its collections particularly focus on agricultural traditions and the transformation of the region from a rural farming area.

The museum displays the life of Kibi-no-Makibi, an 8th-century scholar whose journey to China shaped Japanese learning traditions. Visitors can see how his ideas influenced the region's intellectual development.

The museum offers informative displays for groups and school visitors as well as research facilities. The spaces are laid out so that visitors of all abilities can easily explore the content.

The museum holds a collection of tools and everyday objects that preserve the lives of ordinary people in the region. These daily items tell more about real life than many other displays.
