3 roles of the popular museum “National Museum of Science” in Ueno

The National Science Museum is one of Japan’s oldest museums in Japan, founded in 1877 (1877), and is the only national museum of science.As a core facility for science museums in Japan and Asia, this facility has 3 roles : research and research, collection and storage of sample materials, and exhibition and learning support.

These activities have been carried out in 3 areas, including the main Building, the comprehensive Research Building, the Natural History Sample Building, the Experimental Plant Garden, and the attached Institute for Nature Study in Minato-ku, Shirokanedai, centering on the main building of Ueno.

So let me introduce you to 3 roles, respectively.

Survey Research

We study and research how the Earth and life have evolved, and how mankind has developed civilization and developed science and technology.The aim of this project is to convey the results of the research together with sample materials to the future and to return them to society.

We conduct research in collaboration with various institutions, focusing on 5 research centers (animal, plant, geology, human, science and engineering), and 3 research centers (technical technology history information center, sample data center, molecular diversity research data center).

Sample data collection / storage

Specimens and materials related to natural sciences are collected and stored in the future and stored in the future.These sample materials are invaluable for international preservation, including the underlying type specimen of scientific names.

A variety of archival materials such as animal, plant, fungal specimens, living plants, minerals, fossil, human bones, science, and technical history materials, including the world’s most valuable materials, are also in Japan’s top class.We aim to build a nacionarcoleccion that can be proud of as Japan, and we are working to improve our conservation environment to succeed to the next generation.

Display and Learning Support

The National Museum of Science and Technology has a number of researchers, a number of specimens, and a vast array of research results in various fields.In order to make more effective use of these resources, we have been working with academic societies, other museums, and companies to develop more attractive exhibits and to develop learning support programs.

At the exhibition business, the main building in Ueno is centered on the main building of Ueno, and exhibits special exhibitions, exhibitions, and exhibitions in addition to permanent exhibitions at 3 districts (Ueno Honkan, Tsukuba Botanical Garden, and attached Institute for Nature Study).Through the display of the message “We aim for coexistence of mankind and nature” through our exhibition activities, we aim to create an opportunity to think about what we need to do to build a future that can coexist with humanity and nature.

Exhibition and event of the popular museum “National Museum of Science” in Ueno

We will introduce the exhibitions and events of the Ueno main building.The Ueno Main Building is divided into 2 buildings, the Japan Pavilion, which was constructed in 1931, and the Earth Pavilion, which was renewed in July 2017.
