Yamaga City Museum

4.0

This museum is a veritable condensation of the ancient romanticism of the Kikuchi River area. The museum displays a variety of historically valuable, ancient, and folk materials from the Kikuchi River region, such as tomoe interlocking comma-shaped copperware, of which there are only some 30 examples in existence; and the only stone knife-shaped ironware in the country. The museum was opened in 1978 as the prefecture's second ever museum. Maintained as part of the Higo Kodai no Mori park, the museum is also a 15-minute walk from Chibusan Ancient Tomb and Obusan Ancient Tomb, two famous decorated ancient tombs. Some of the museum's many highlights include a late Edo period home; and Otsubo Bridge, the country's second irrigation bridge, which have been moved to the museum grounds and restored.

近くに古墳

方保田東原遺跡の出土品等が展示されているのですが、展示室は仕方はないのですが、ちょっと古い感じで埃のような黴臭い感じです。

国道４４３号からアクセス。入館料２７０円。館内照明暗め。至る所「写真撮影はご遠慮下さい」の注意書きがチラホラ。さりげなく国重要文化財も散見され、成程納得です。
古墳から近いので

ついでといった感じで訪問しましたが古墳時代や石器時代の展示品がかなり多く見ごたえのある市立博物館でした。かなりおすすめです。
