Matsumoto City Museum
The Main Building of the "All-Matsumoto Museum" Concept
The main building of the Matsumoto Marugoto Museum treats the entire city as an "open-air museum," presenting the story of Matsumoto's nature, culture, and the lives of its people by making the environment itself the museum. Here, you can experience the city's origins, the development of its castle town, and its future through vivid, immersive exhibits.
Its origins trace back to the "Memorial Hall" opened in the Meiji era, giving it a long history. It serves as the core of the "Whole Museum," where you can learn everything about the castle town of Matsumoto. It's not just about viewing exhibits; it's packed with features for everyone to enjoy, like taking in the spectacular views of Matsumoto Castle and the Northern Alps from the observation floor or relaxing in the café. If you're visiting Matsumoto Castle, why not start here and immerse yourself in the city's story? It will make your journey that much more interesting.
