Yasu City History and Folklore Museum (野洲市歴史民俗博物館, Yasu-shi Rekishi Minzoku Hakubutsukan), also known as the Dōtaku Museum (銅鐸博物館, Dōtaku Hakubutsukan), opened in Yasu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan in 1988.[1] Originally the town museum, with the merger of the former Yasu Town with Chūzu to form Yasu City on 1 October 2004, the museum was renamed accordingly (町立→市).[1] The collection and displays have two main areas of focus, the dōtaku of Ōiwayama [ja] and the history and folkways of the area.[1][2] Next to the museum is Yayoi no Mori Historical Park, with reconstruction pit-dwellings and a raised storehouse.[2]
