The Yamba Tenmei Mudflow Museum (やんば天明泥流ミュージアム) is a disaster museum located in Naganohara, Gunma prefecture, Japan. It opened in April 3, 2021.[1][2]
Overview
The Yamba Tenmei Mudflow Museum is telling about the disasters caused by the Tenmei mudflow in Edo period.[3][4]
The Tenmei mudflow means a large-scale volcanic mudflow caused by the 1783 eruption of Mount Asama, killed 1,523 people and destroyed 2,065 homes.[2][5][6]
This museum houses a collection of artifacts from the time of the eruption that were excavated from the areas submerged by the Yamba Dam.[7]
In the areas submerged by the Yamba Dam flooded area, excavation surveys covering approximately one million square meters were carried out over a 26-year period from 1994 to 2019.[2]
Adjacent to the museum, the former Naganohara Daiichi Elementary School building, which was used until 2002, has been relocated and educational materials are on display.[8]
