One of the pieces of educational experiment apparatus used at The Fourth Higher School. This item is a triangular glass prism, and was used in optics education. It consists of a triangular glass prism attached to a wood and metal base. When light is shone into the prism, it is refracted due to the difference in refractive index which depends on the wavelength of the light, and its spectrum can be obtained.

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.
