One of the pieces of educational experiment equipment used at Fourth High School. This item is a Breguet thermometer named after Abraham-Louis Breguet (1747-1823). It was used for thermology education. A very thin ribbon coil is made by layering gold, platinum and silver foils, and temperature is measured through the change of coil form due to thermal expansion and shrinkage. The description on the attached plate, MAX KOHL Werkstätten für Präzisionsmechanik CHEMNITZ i. S., shows that the item was manufactured by Max Kohl, a physical and chemical equipment manufacturer established in Chemnitz, Germany in 1876.

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.
