Tucked away a twenty minute walk from Dejima it's a fantastic museum bridging the Western worlds experience with Japan. Opened 25 years ago. Just an amazing experience for little cost. The buildings always be are stunning. Helpful staff, cool app explaining the exhibits (good for all Japan museums using it). Also a fabulous retro restaurant in the grounds. English speaking staff also very helpful. Great experience.

This is a truly great museum. I found myself getting emotional while reading the stories and seeing the debris left from the bombings and war in Nagasaki. There is so much to learn, and the exhibits are thoughtfully designed to be both interactive and engaging. The museum also features a cinema and a variety of traditional houses where you can sit in the living areas to experience the Japanese way of life. Everything is clean, spacious, and well-organized. Highly recommended!
Great exhibitions showing the history and development of the prefecture! Many are curated in Japanese but there are a few English explanations too. Definitely recommending!
The pokemon exhibition was worth every penny. The rest of the museum was also worth checking out, very informative around the culture and history of the city.
