What other travelers are saying about Nagasaki Museum of History and Culture
l really enjoyed my visit. You can try different experiences like sending telegram, printing old style newspaper even taking old style photopragh. lt was enlightening about Nagasaki's history especially with foreign communities. By the end of the tour, l completed my quiz and received a gatcha gatcha present. The staff was kind and warm welcoming. lt was a pleasure to visit the museum.
Super cool interactive museum. Wish there were more signs in English but you could get the gist from the surrounding artifacts. The staff were kind and helpful. The building is also very nice and modern.
A must visit. Extremely rich in the contents of the culture and the history of Nagasaki. What gave me the biggest impression was the actual plaques with Jesus and Mary engraved, which were used for "Fumie" - a method used by the then government to test each person of public on their religious faith. The museum near the statue of the martyrdoms also has a display but theirs is a replica, and I was very fortunate to have a chance of viewing this rare historical piece up close and personal. No photos were allowed. You'll be missing a lot if you miss this museum.
A great choice for learning some Nagasaki history. Lots of tactile displays. A large amount of English explanations are available on signs and through an app

It highlights Nagasaki’s role as the country’s only open port during the Edo period 🚢, where trade and cultural exchange with the Dutch, Chinese, and Portuguese flourished. The museum features beautifully reconstructed historical spaces, including part of the **Edo-period Nagasaki Magistrate’s Office** ⚖️, as well as exhibits of old maps, documents, ceramics, and artifacts that tell the story of Nagasaki as Japan’s “window to the world.” 🌍✨ Interactive displays, seasonal exhibitions, and cultural workshops also make it engaging for visitors. It’s a must-visit for those interested in history, trade, and the unique global spirit of Nagasaki 🌸📜.
