Osaka Museum of History - visitor guide

大阪歴史博物館

Osaka Museum of History connects gallery reconstructions with the Naniwa Palace landscape visible outside. Its route moves from ancient political life through the merchant city to modern Osaka, using environments and models to show changes in urban form. Look out toward the archaeological site as well as at the displays to keep the history tied to place.
