Virtual Tour
The Yamagata Prefectural Museum collects a broad range of materials on the realms of nature and humanity from around Yamagata Prefecture, preserving them, doing investigative research with them, and displaying them. This Virtual Tour is an attempt to reproduce the display space on the web.
Taken from 12 points in the galleries, you can manipulate the scenes to look up and down, rotate them, and zoom in and out, giving you 360 degree panoramic views of the display spaces.

Please click the red button at the point you want to see!
