Kannon Museum

Museum / Science Museum
In 2015, 35 years after it was opened to the public, the treasure hall of the Hasedera Temple was remodeled and turned into this museum. The museum not only presents the temple's treasures but features as its main exhibit a statue of Kannon which is the temple's principal object of worship. The museum seeks to convey the teaching of Kannon to visitors in an easy to understand manner. The museum's collection includes a statue of Kannon Buddhisattva with 11 Headed which is not only the temple's principal object of worship but also an important historical sculpture, and a collection of 33 avatars of Kannon designated Cultural Properties by the city of Kamakura.

    長谷寺の境内にあります。何か新しくできたものかと思いきや、昔の宝物館のようですね。今風に名前を変えたという事ですか。それでお客さんも増えればいいことだと思います。
  • 三十三体もの立像が並ぶ様は見応え十分

    長谷寺にある長谷観音博物(宝物)館とも言える。館内は撮影禁止。なかでは、前立像である十一面観音菩薩立像等の歴史や、三十三体もの立像が並ぶ様は見応え十分。
