ABOUT THE MUSEUM:
Outline
In 2011, Kyushu University has celebrated the centennial of its foundation. During its research and educational activities, more than 7.5 million specimens and archives have been collected and kept by various institutions separately.
The Kyushu University Museum was established in April 2000 for the purpose to unify the scattered specimens and to facilitate them for education, research and public uses. The museum has been managing those collections in cooperation with faculties and staffs of other institutions in Kyushu University.
Collections & Exhibitions
The collections cover various fields: specimens of insects, plants, fossils, mammals, fishes, minerals, human bones and natural medicines as well as valuable archives.
Representatives of the collections are displayed at the main gallery in the Hakozaki campus. Once a year, an extramural exhibition is organized at a regional museum in Fukuoka.
Education
The museum provides a course for students to be qualified as curators. Museum exhibitions are utilized for several classes of graduate courses. Also, our museum holds various lecture meetings opening to the public.
Campus Relocation and The Museum
Since the foundation as the Kyushu Imperial University in 1911, the Kyushu University has built up its history here at the Hakozaki campus for over 100 years. While the relocation to the new campus (Ito campus) was completed in September 2018, the Kyushu University Museum remains at the Hakozaki Satellite.
We will continue communicating the pleasure of scientific exploration based on specimens to the widest possible audience through publications, exhibitions, web contents and educational programs, as well as playing its role as a university facility.
