The Kagoshima University Museum (鹿児島大学総合研究博物館, Kagoshima Daigaku Sōgō Kenkyū Hakubutsukan) is a facility affiliated with Kagoshima University in Kagoshima, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan for the collection, preservation, research, display, and educational use of the various materials generated and acquired by the University. It was established in 2001 as the seventh museum attached to a national university.[1]
The reinforced concrete permanent exhibition hall, which dates to 1928 and originally functioned as a book store for the library of the former Kagoshima Agricultural College, was restored in 2003 before reopening in its current guise the following year; it is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.[2]
