The Osaka Museum of History in Chūō-ku was designed by César Pelli & Associates and Nihon Sekkei. It opened on November 3, 2001, and replaced the earlier Osaka City Museum, which closed that year. The article names no client, style, materials or dimensions.
Exhibits fill four floors, from the seventh to the tenth, and tell the story of the city starting from the former Naniwa Palace. Remains of the palace, including a warehouse, walls and water supply facilities, are kept in the basement. The museum adjoins an atrium that connects to the NHK Osaka Broadcasting Center, built at the same time by the same architects.
The collection held about 100,000 objects in 2005 and 138,595 objects in 2016, plus 17,632 on deposit. The article gives no hours.
