Having read a few histories of Japan, and having taught world history for close to a decade, I had a bit of context. So it was really fascinating to do a deep dive into Fukuyoka's specific place in world history. The museum is laid out chronologically, with dioramas beginning with the earliest agricultural settlements and continuing through the historical eras. Most of the signs with detailed explanations are in Japanese, so it really helps to have a smartphone with something like Google translate or DeepL. With the translation, the various objects are that much more interesting. Especially the rusty knives and cracked pottery shards. The exhibit continues all the way to the late 20th century, showing how the city has grown. Definitely worth the visit if you're into history at all.
