| Research Abstract |
It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 museums in Japan and more than 300 million patrons visit those museums every year. The majority of museums are historic museums, which play a big role as the facilities for life-long learning on history and culture. This study covers exhibitions (including permanent collections and featured exhibitions), educational activities, and collection and conservation of historic museums in 47 prefectures, government ordinance-designated cities, and core cities. We also reveal current status and issues to be solved about exhibitions and activities concerned with architectural history, and then consider those issues from the view point of architectural history. We collected materials from about 100 museums nationwide as well as actually measuring their exhibition spaces, taking photographs, and talking with curators. Most of historic museums were comprehensive ones in the 1960s and 70s ; from the 1980s onward, theme museums and museums that focus on

history have become mainstream. Although many exhibitions had been categorized by disciplines, such as history, art, archaeology, and folklore, until the 1970s, chronological exhibitions in which an exhibition was produced along a scenario in history became popular from the latter half of the 1980s, then theme exhibitions focusing on a specific era or historic event has become mainstream in the 1990s. In recent years, the proportion of exhibitions involving architecture is increasing. However, several problems associated with those exhibitions, such as exhibition design, production, and scaling, arise, which requires considering establishing some kind of national standard. Many historic museums make full use of their architectural exhibitions for their life-long learning activities. For examples, they use small-scaled buildings restored in their facilities for creating-with-your-own-hands-type interactive classes so that their patrons can learn more about their exhibitions. We also conducted nationwide study about collection and conservation of architecture-related materials and special exhibitions, and summarized classification of those materials, exhibition trends, and issues to be resolved in the future.
