There are in excess of 2.5 million collection objects relating to arts and sciences and education which Kyoto University has collected and studied for the past one hundred years. They are significant not only in quantity but in also quality. Examples include numerous national treasures, important cultural assets with treasures corresponding to them, internationally significant type specimens relating to the cultural, natural and technological fields. The mission of the Kyoto University Museum is to preserve and control those primary samples in one location in an establishment with appropriate facilities, promote the practical use for high-technology research and education in national and international research institutes and communities, and allow access to the public.
