Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture Permanent Exhibition Ticket

A museum of overseas exchange
Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture Permanent Exhibition

The Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture is one of the few museums in Japan focused on the history of foreign exchange. Its displays center on precious materials exchanged with Portugal, the Netherlands and China, starting from the early 17th century when Western traders arrived in Japan. With this ticket you can see the permanent exhibition on your booked date.

Treasures from across the sea
that were new to Japan

Items such as Chinese porcelain, Western cameras and wine tasting sets, all very unfamiliar to the Japanese of the time, are on display. Authentic artifacts, documents and art tell the real stories of Nagasaki's past.

Walk through the reconstructed
Nagasaki Magistrate's Office

Detailed reconstructions of historical buildings, including part of the old magistrate's office, let you feel the atmosphere of the era as you walk through them.

Immersive exhibits that
bring history to life

Exhibition spaces with video and staging offer an educational yet immersive way to experience Nagasaki's past. It is an easy way to learn with children about a city that thrived as an international trading port.
