{{nihongo|Shimonoseki City Museum of History|下関市立歴史博物館|Shimonoseki Shiritsu Rekishi Hakubutsukan}} is a public museum that opened in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, in 2016.
History
In 1933 the {{nihongo|Former Nagato Sonjōdō|旧長門尊攘堂}}, inspired by the {{nihongo|Sonjōdō|尊攘堂}} in Kyōto, was completed in the grounds of Kōzan-ji, in reinforced concrete dressed with stone and with a double tile roof reminiscent of the nearby temple hall; the twentieth-century building is now a registered Tangible Cultural Property. This subsequently became the private {{nihongo|Chōfu Museum|長府博物館}}, then from 1 April 1980, with the donation of both the facilities and the collection, the {{nihongo|Shimonoseki City Chōfu Museum|下関市立長府博物館}}, before reopening nearby in new buildings in 2016 under its current name.{{cite web |url=https://bunka.nii.ac.jp/museums/detail/517 |script-title=ja:下関市立長府博物館 |trans-title=Shimonoseki City Chōfu Museum |language=Japanese |publisher=Agency for Cultural Affairs |accessdate=18 August 2020}}
