The Geological Museum has more than 150,000 registered specimens, such as rocks, minerals and fossils collected through the course of the research activities of the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) originally founded in 1882. Since its opening at Tsukuba in 1980, the Geological Museum has been introducing a wide range of visitors to the research activities of GSJ and the general geological information. It provides the public with opportunities to learn about domestic regional geology, underground resources, marine geology, global environment, and geological hazards including volcanic eruption, earthquake and tsunami, as well as the latest knowledge of earth sciences. The Museum holds seasonal special exhibitions and urgent investigation debriefing sessions as necessary. It also advances the effort to make good use of our knowledge and technology on earth science in the industry.
The Geological Museum hopes you to find what our planet really is like, learn how closely humans are interconnected with it, and think what we should do to be friendly with our Only One Earth.
