～ It is a museum of the history of Fukuoka Prefecture. ～

　Kyushu is located in the west Japan and facing the Asian Continent, so it has played an important role like a gate to other countries. Kyushu Historical Museum was opened in 1973 in order to clarify the history of Kyushu and its characteristics. Since then, we have researched and studied a lot of historical things such as the excavation of Dazaifu remains. In our exhibition rooms we display valuable property, which we excavated and studied.

　This year we moved from Dazaifu to Mitsusawa, Ogori. Ogori City has a lot of historical remains and this new museum is next to the Mitsusawa remains, which is a designated site in Fukuoka Prefecture.
