Kobe City Museum

Kobe City Museum (神戸市立博物館?) opened in Kobe, Japan in 1982, and combines two previous collections, the Municipal Archaeological Art Museum and Municipal Namban Art Museum. The museum is housed in a neoclassical building of 1935, the former Kobe branch of the Bank of Tokyo. The collection of nearly thirty-nine thousand items comprises archaeological artefacts, works of art, old maps, and historical documents and artefacts relating to Kobe. It includes an important collection of Namban art, as well as a set of dōtaku and other items of the Yayoi period from excavations at Sakuragaoka that have been designated a National Treasure.[1][2]
