Description:
Kansai University Museum (KUM) opened in 1994. The previous museum was established in 1954 by the Emeritus Professor Masao Suenaga (1897-1991), together with Kansai University Archaeological Research Institute.
The museum houses approximately 15,000 objects of archaeological, historical, ethnological, and art-craft contexts, as well as some natural-historical materials. The main objects came from the collection of Mr. Hikoichi Motoyama (1853-1932), the former president of the Mainichi Newspapers.
In April 2005, Kansai University Research Center for Naniwa-Osaka Cultural Heritage Studies (NOCHS) was established as a part of the KUM activity. One of the main aims of the NOCHS is to promote cultural heritage studies in Osaka (Naniwa), focusing on “living heritage” and “cultural resources”.
