Gifu Prefectural Museum (岐阜県博物館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A museum standing inside Gifu Prefectural Centennial Park where you can learn about the nature and history of the prefecture in one place. It displays fossils and rocks found within the prefecture along with the creatures that live in the wooded hills, so you can see how the nature close at hand came to be. The history section traces the livelihoods of Gifu through everyday tools and craft materials. It is inside the same park as the splash pond you will play in that afternoon, so there is no travel burden. Special exhibitions and hands-on programs are sometimes prepared during the summer holidays, which makes it a good place to look for ideas for a school research project.

Tips

There is a viewing fee. The price changes depending on whether a special exhibition is running, and opening hours and closed days can change too, so check the official website. It is a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the building, so bring a hat and a drink. It is a place to be quiet in, so agreeing on that with your children beforehand is reassuring.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 10 minutes. Late morning is a calm time to look around
