Visited in November 2023. You can see many specimens of precious sea creatures. When I visited, there was a special exhibit about the deep sea, and I was able to learn about the deep sea, which is still an unknown world. Although measures have been taken to remove the whale bones in the annex, there is a strong smell of the ocean.

The university museum is located on the campus of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, about a 10-minute walk from the nearest station. The main feature of the museum, the entire skeleton of a whale, is displayed separately in a whale pavilion separate from the main museum building. The main building has a long history, dating back to 1902 as the university's predecessor, the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce Fisheries Training Institute Etchujima Campus (later merged with Tokyo University of Fisheries and Tokyo University of Mercantile Marine to become the current university). Many of the materials were reduced to dust in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and it was rebuilt in 1936. The galleries are concentrated on the second floor, and the collection of marine life specimens is quite large, both in terms of quality and quality, for a university museum. The stuffed specimens of penguins captured during Antarctic research by the training ship Umitaka Maru are a must-see.

It is a science museum specializing in marine science, typical of Maritime University. I like museums, and university-affiliated museums in particular have their own character, so I came to see them, and I was able to see many more interesting exhibits than I expected. The museum is located in the building behind the whale bone exhibit on your left as you walk straight through the main gate after learning from the kind guard next to the university's main gate. If you turn left at the information sign next to the skeleton exhibit, you will see two whaling cannons on display, and if you keep going, you will see the entrance. I asked a person who appeared to be a staff member at the reception desk to the right after entering the entrance if I could take pictures of the exhibit, and after thinking about it for a while, he said yes. (Maybe he was a curator.) I noticed when I entered that there was a special exhibition from the end of July to the beginning of November this year (2023), so when there is a special exhibition, there may be some exhibitions where photography is restricted. It was a museum where you could learn a wide range of things, from fishing to marine resource exploration. Personally, I found the many detailed models of whales and training ships to be worth seeing. There are plenty of sea-related animals, birds, and stuffed marine creatures on display, so even though it's a compact museum, I feel like I made a lot of discoveries and learned a lot. There was also an elevator next to the stairs, although I didn't use it because I went up to the first floor and looked at the whale jaw displayed next to the stairs. Previously, I had visited several university-affiliated museums that were not very popular on weekdays and had a quiet impression, but this one was crowded with families with children and students, and it was a weekday, so it was peaceful. I thought it was a science museum with a nice atmosphere.

平日しか開館していないとのことなので、子供の学校が休みの平日に予約をして行きました。 大学の研究室や博物館はとても良いのに、知名度や立地からあまり知られていないことが多く、ここも穴場だと思いました。 展示室は主に建物の2階になりますが、船舶、海洋生物など様々な標本や資料が所狭しと展示されていて、とても見ごたえがあります。 平日しか開いていないのが残念な場所です。 車は構内には停められませんが、大学の正門左横に2022年7月現在、20分330円と高めですが新しいコインパーキングができているのでそこが便利です。

There are exhibits of various specimens such as saltwater fish, freshwater fish, shrimp, crabs, and penguins that I visited during the school festival.

Nice university museum with lots of specimens and it's free.

クジラの骨格標本を中心に海洋関係の生物標本、大学が歴代使用してきた船舶の模型と解説、漁業関係の展示があります。南極観測船宗谷に随伴船として参加した海鷹丸についての展示があります。まだ建物が真新しいので展示スペースに余裕があり今後も充実していくでことでしょう。楽しみです。

Good info presented... but the whole place smelled like formaldehyde, and some of the dead specimen were very spooky... just like a university research museum.

This university facility is located about a 15-minute walk from Shinagawa Station and is open to the public for free. The skeleton of a whale is spectacular, and when I looked at the bones, I could see the shoulder blades, arm bones, and ribs, so I was convinced that whales were mammals, not fish. You can see it here except on Sundays. Another facility with specimens is also amazing, but unfortunately it is only open on weekdays.

人も少なく、スケッチに最適。 標本の状態とラインナップも良く、展示が見やすいです。東大博物館によく伺いますが、やっぱり海洋生物系だと此方が圧勝。

Nao paga a entrada, o museum fica em uma área de uma escola, o museu possui ampla área de exposição da vida.marinha, se estiver por perto vale a pena conferir

東京海洋大学マリンサイエンスミュージアム / Museum of Marine Science Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology マツコの知らない世界で「大学博物館の世界」というのを見かけてから、たまに時間を作って見て回っている。今日は東京海洋大学。2016年にリニューアルオープンした博物館。コロナでなのか、事前受付必要だった。メインは、海の構成員（生物）である、様々な生き物の展示。魚類だけでなく海鳥や、藻類、ウミガメ類などの展示もあった。ガラパゴス諸島調査の資料もあった。Youtubeで解説員の動画も見れ、大学ならではの？チャレンジ精神に感心した。建物となりにある別館の鯨ギャラリーではセミクジラの骨格標本がみることができる

It's free to enter. Nice.

Small well kept museum. Quite a lot of interesting exhibits within a small space. There is some English explanation but not a lot. The main building is about the history of whaling as well as information about all forms of marine life in the Japan sea region. There is a separate building with a whale skeleton just before the main building. Great place to spend an hour if you are in the neighborhood.

Great little museum that u can see actual wale bone and does sea creature. I mean so REAL that life in formalin makes me little intimidate too.. you will never see this in US.. but overall good shock and fun to collect stamps too!

無料なのに、とても充実した展示です クジラや海の生物がたくさん。子どもの自由研究にも、是非。

Free. There are so many exhibits that you'll want to pay the price. It's usually empty, so you can browse smoothly. The whale skeleton specimens are displayed in a facility called the "Whale Gallery" attached to the Marine Science Museum, which cannot be accessed even if you enter through the entrance of the Marine Science Museum. However, it's on the way from the guardhouse to the Marine Science Museum, and it's made of glass so it's conspicuous, so I think you'll be able to get there safely.
