One of the pieces of educational experiment equipment used at Fourth High School. This item is a Bunsen spectrometer manufactured by Max Kohl, a physical and chemical equipment manufacturer in Chemnitz, Germany. It was used for optics education. It was invented by the German chemist Robert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811-1899) and attached with the scale of 1/6º. Multiple prisms can be placed on the plate, and the scale is read through the magnifier using the sub scale. The same model is included in the catalog of an educational equipment manufacturer with the price of 630yen, thus showing that it was very expensive at the time. Fourth High School is considered to have purchased this item at 495yen.

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.
