The museum opened in 1980. ``We collect materials related to the hometown of Mito in four categories: nature, history, folklore, and art, and display them for the public.'' The building is also used as the Mito City Library, and the entrance to the museum is on the second floor of the building. As you go up the stairs to the second floor, you'll find a work called ``Double Face'' by sculptor Nobuharu Asano, which feels quite unique.

Mito City Museum I used to go to the Mito City Central Library when I was a student (I feel so nostalgic) It's still as clean as ever, and you can see that the Mito City employees are maintaining, planning, and operating the building as neatly as ever. This time we visited Mr. Edo (special exhibition). We are grateful that the permanent exhibitions and special exhibitions are open to the public for free. It is best to check the Mito City Museum website for details. The parking lot is located underground next to the convenience store, which is very convenient (we recommend visiting on weekdays when it's not crowded). Although it was a weekday morning today, there were about 50 visitors and it was a great success. I will be visiting you again for the special exhibition✨

Although it is a city museum of a decent size, I get the impression that the exhibition content is a little half-hearted compared to the museum in the city where the prefectural capital is located. The City Museum in Kawagoe City, Saitama has more spirit. It does not cover the history of Mito City, but focuses on the history of the Edo period. However, the content of the exhibit is unclear as to what Mito City wants to convey. I think it would be better to have a little more discussion and decide on a proper theme. The nature zone on the third floor also gives the impression that it is just a collection of stuffed animals, and does not convey the natural characteristics of Mito City at all. Well, I guess it's okay to stop by if you're nearby.
