The Shiretoko Museum (知床博物館, Shiretoko Hakubutsukan) opened in Shari, Hokkaidō, Japan in 1978 to mark the 100th anniversary of the municipality's foundation. The collection and displays relate to the natural and human history of the Shiretoko Peninsula.[1][2]
In 1993, the Memorial Hall of Shari's Sister Town Relationships (姉妹町友好都市交流記念館) opened next door, with exhibits relating to Taketomi, Hirosaki, and the Shiretoko Neputa festival.[1][2]
