One of the pieces of educational experiment equipment used at Fourth High School. This item is a Michelson interferometer. It was used for optics education. The interferometric optical device was invented by Albert Abraham Michelson (1852-1931), an American physicist. Light emitted from the source is divided into two by a half mirror, reflected each on a mirror and overlapped; then generated interference stripes are observed. This item was manufactured by Adam Hilger Ltd., a spectrometer manufacturer established in London, UK in the 1870s, and imported by Shimadzu Corporation.

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.
