Saga Prefectural Museum

The Saga Prefectural Museum features exhibitions of regional natural history, archaeological artifacts, traditional crafts, Buddhist art, and Japanese sword collections.

The museum opened in 1970 on the former grounds of Saga Castle to commemorate the centennial of the Meiji Period's beginning.

The permanent exhibition 'The History and Culture of Saga' presents local materials through detailed models, dioramas, and interactive learning sections.

Visitors can access the museum via bus from Saga Station to Hakubutsukan Mae stop or take a fifteen-minute taxi ride.

The museum houses a Tyrannosaurus rex model that influenced the original design of the Godzilla character in Japanese cinema.
