Museum Introduction

History

立正大学博物館は大学創立以来、学内の各所に分散所蔵されていた諸資（史）料を一括保管し、公開することを目的に設置された総合博物館です。その淵源は、昭和7（1932）年に大崎キャンパス（現：品川キャンパス）に設置された考古学標本室(後の考古学資料室)と、昭和53（1978）年に熊谷キャンパスに設置された考古学陳列室にあり、両施設を基に大学創立130周年記念事業として平成14（2002）年に立正大学博物館が開設されました。

当館は歴史・宗教・芸術・民俗・産業・自然誌に関する学術的資料を収集、保管、公開し、これらの調査研究を行う大学付置博物館としての役割を担っています。平成16（2004）年には埼玉県より「博物館相当施設」へ指定され、令和7（2025）年に博物館法改正に伴う要件確認を受けました。

Special Exhibitions

In addition to our permanent exhibitions, our museum also holds special and temporary exhibitions.
These exhibitions primarily showcase our collections and also serve as an opportunity to widely disseminate the educational and research achievements of each faculty. In addition, related events such as lectures are held in conjunction with the planned and special exhibitions.

Publications

In addition to the "Museum Guide" and "Outline of Rissho University Museum," our museum publishes the "Rissho University Museum Annual Report," the "Collection of Basic Literature" (a series of publications), and the museum newsletter "Mankichi Newsletter" (published twice a year).

Museum training

Our museum is also used as a site for museum internships in our university's curator training program. During the summer break, we conduct a one-week internship program, accepting approximately 10 to 20 students.
In addition to activities such as photography, packaging techniques, pottery joining and rubbing, and creating data register cards, the practical training includes natural history practicals and sword handling sessions led by faculty members from Faculty of Geo-Environmental Science.
