Organization and History
Organizational Structure
Kyushu National Museum is jointly managed by the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage
(NICH), an operational agency of the government, and the Fukuoka Prefectural Asian Cultural
Exchange Center.
This organizational structure, which promotes cooperation between national and regional
governments, was proposed during the conceptualization of our museum. NICH is mainly responsible
for the management and exhibition of cultural properties, as well as endeavours in museum
science and object conservation. The Center covers public relations, educational outreach, and
international exchange.
