The Kobe City Museum in Kyōmachi, Kobe, is a municipally supported art and city museum that opened in 1982 from the merger of the Municipal Archaeological Art Museum and the Municipal Namban Art Museum. It occupies a Neoclassical building by Sakurai Kotarō, completed in 1935 as the Kobe branch of the Yokohama Specie Bank. Its nearly 39,000 items include important Nanban art and a Yayoi-period set of dōtaku from Sakuragaoka designated a National Treasure. The building is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.
