国立歴史民俗博物館－National Museum of Japanese History(July 28, 2020-No.31）
The National Museum of Japanese History and Folklore（国立歴史民俗博物館abbreviation: Rekihaku 歴博）is a history museum located in Sakura City, Chiba Prefecture, which comprehensively studies and exhibits Japanese history, folklore, and archeology.
The museum was very vacant on that day. Although it was a weekday, the school was on summer vacation, and it would have been crowded with elementary and junior high school students every year. The museum opened in March 1983 and we were here about 20 years ago. I remember that it was crowded with many people from children to the elderly at that time. Compared to 20 years ago, the museum's exhibits have been renewed and abundant, but the reason why it was so quiet here seemed to be the influence of the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection. Infection prevention measures at the museum seemed to have been thorough, such as temperature measurement and hand disinfection.
The museum boasts a large number of exhibits and exhibition space, divided into six galleries. The first Gallery One had an exhibition about ancient Japanese society（Prehistric and Ancient Japan. Reopened March 19.2019). Even here alone, I was overwhelmed by the many exhibits. Many of the exhibits were reproductions, but they were very elaborate. The process of making duplicates was also explained in detail.
A little tired, we ate at the museum restaurant. The Jomon（縄文時代：In world history, it is the Mesolithic era or the Neolithic era.）curry rice that I had eaten about 20 years ago was on the menu, and I felt very nostalgic.
