At a Glance
Ishikawa Prefectural History Museum is a museum of the history and culture of Ishikawa Prefecture, in the Dewamachi area of Kanazawa. It occupies three red brick buildings put up between 1909 and 1914 as an army arsenal, later used by the Kanazawa College of Art, and it became a museum in 1986. The buildings are an Important Cultural Property, and with the neighbouring Kaga Honda Museum the site is known as the Ishikawa Red Brick Museum.
Permanent galleries in the first building trace the prefecture's history from the Paleolithic period to modern times, and the second has a hands-on corner with real historical objects. The third building covers the textile industry and other early modern technology, along with Edo-period daily life and traditional crafts. The museum stands in the greenery of Honda-no-mori Park, beside the National Crafts Museum and close to Kenroku-en.
