Kushiro City Museum (釧路市立博物館, Kushiro Shiritsu Hakubutsukan) is a registered museum in Kushiro, Hokkaidō, Japan.[2] The Museum's predecessor institution, the Kushiro City Folk Museum (釧路市立郷土博物館), began as an exhibition room at the offices of the local water board in 1936, before moving to a department store, then from 1949 to the relocated former Kushiro City Police Station.[1] Upon completion of the new, dedicated museum building in 1983, the museum was renamed the Kushiro City Museum.[1] The displays centre around the geology, flora and fauna, and history of the area, with exhibits including the fossil jaw from which the Kushiro tapir [ja] (Plesiocolopirus kushiroensis) was described as well as Jōmon, Satsumon, and Ainu materials.[3][4]
