One of the pieces of educational experiment equipment used at Fourth High School. This item is an Edison phonograph. This item was used for acoustics education. It was invented by Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) in 1877 and manufactured by Ferdinand Ernecke, a precision equipment/ optical equipment manufacturer in Berlin, Germany. Sound vibration is recorded by scratching tin foil wound over a cylinder, using a needle, and sound is replayed by reading the scratches with a needle. This is a valuable material that shows the original model of sound recording and replaying equipment.

Established in 1989 to preserve and utilize valuable materials handed down from the predecessor school when the university campus was relocated from Kanazawa Castle Site. Former teaching materials such as beautifully shaped physics experiment apparatus and mushroom moulage specimens that allow you to observe mushrooms as they were 100 years ago are fun-to-see natural museum materials in the museum's collection. The museum also holds many archive such as timetables that show the hard work of medical students 100 years ago, as well as archaeological materials excavated within the campus.
