The Osaka Prefectural Chikatsu Asuka Museum, located in Kanan, Ōsaka Prefecture, is a prefectural museum dedicated to the Chikatsu Asuka region during the Kofun and Asuka periods. Designed by architect Tadao Ando and opened in 1994, the museum sits within the Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki-No-Oka Historical Park, an area first documented in the Kojiki that contains over two hundred burial mounds, including four imperial tombs and those of prominent historical figures such as Shōtoku Taishi and Ono no Imoko. The exhibition hall is organized into three sections exploring foreign influence during the Kofun and Asuka periods, the origins of the ancient realm through kofun burial practices, and the application of scientific methods to cultural heritage conservation.
