Founded in 1970, this institution preserves artifacts from the Bakumatsu period and Meiji Restoration, marking Japan's transition from feudal to modern society.

The exhibition includes personal items from notable figures like Ryoma Sakamoto and Shintaro Nakaoka, who shaped Japan's political transformation during the 1800s.
