Mie Prefectural Museum (MieMu)

Museum / Science Museum

4.0

This museum opened in 2014. To reach it, take a bus for five minutes from the west entrance of Kintetsu, JR, and Ise Railway's Tsu Station and get off at the Sogo Bunka Center Mae stop. It's right there. The museum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the prefecture. Its main exhibition room depicts Mie's characteristic natural environment around the perimeter of the room, and in the middle presents a comprehensive overview of its people, physical items, and history of cultural exchange. You can also see a fully reconstructed ancient elephant known as the Mie Elephant, consisting of the oldest fossils to be discovered in Mie prefecture. In the back yard there's a reproduction of the Torii Kofun burial mound's stone hut.

凄くお金をかけて作られた建物ですね。一時間ほど時間が余ったので、行ってみました。コロナ禍なので展示内容にも色々制限がかかっていましたが、510円の入場料としては、それなりに楽しめる内容だったと思います。ただ、非常に平べったい展示なので、もっと尖った特徴のある内容の展示の方が人を呼べるのでは？と思いました。例えば伊賀忍者とか...
