It is no wonder that Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Cultural History is
the largest historical museum in Yokohama, but this big city has others which
show us history of this place.
なんといっても、神奈川県立歴史博物館ですが、さすが、大都市横浜、歴史を展示する素敵な資料館があります。
Yokohama Port Museum、横浜みなと博物館
This museum shows us the history of the port after 1853 when American fleet came to Japan and Yokohama became an international port. There are many models and photos but photography is prohibited, sorry to say.
You
can see the large exhibition rooms at the website below.

ペリー来航以来の横浜港の歴史を豊富な模型と写真で展示しています。撮影禁止なのは残念。上記のホームページには、展示室の写真が掲載されています。
The
paintings of Ryohei Yanagihara, who loved sea and lived in Yokohama, are
wonderful. The gentleman depicted in his painting is also known as the character
of TORYS Whisky (Suntory). He is not handsome, but calm and cool.
海好きで横浜に住んでいた柳原良平さんの港の絵が素晴らしかった。描かれているいわゆるトリスのおじさんは、美男ではないが、落ち着いていて、かっこいい。(特集展示「海を見ながら・・・」リーフレットから)
Sailing ship Nippon-maru is in front of Yokohama Port Museum
練習船・日本丸も見学できます。
All sailors polish the wooden deck together. The characteristic of loving, respecting and taking care of their equipment is very Japanese, I think.
甲板を磨き上げる姿。ものを大切にし、敬愛する姿勢が日本人らしいと思います。

Yokohama Museum of EurAsian Cultures、横浜ユーラシア文化館
Many exhibits are donated by Dr. Egami. Art crafts such as pots,
boxes and glass bottles are much more sophisticated than Japanese ones in the
same era. I recognized the highly advanced culture again. Especially, the glass
necklace is so colorful and well designed.
You
can enjoy here as an art museum, but sorry to say, photography is prohibited.
Ornaments for ladies、「装う」のコーナー(パンフレットから)
江上波夫氏の寄贈資料を基にした文化館。
工芸品の壺や箱、ガラス瓶、同じ時代の日本と比べると洗練されていて、あらためて驚きました。ガラスの首飾りの色や文様の多様さ、美しさが際立ちます。展示ケースも立派で美術館として楽しめますが、写真撮影は禁止です。
The
museum is in this building which was a post office, and Museum of Yokohama
Urban History (http://www.tohatsu.city.yokohama.jp/)
is also here. Many pupils came here as a school excursion when I visited.
