A museum dedicated to 17 notable individuals from Kanazawa (all men, ahem…) who have contributed to modern Japan.
While they are notable and there is an English pamphlet, none of the displays have English explanations, so the average tourist may be left wanting for context.
Admission is free with the Kanazawa City Cultural Facilities Admission Pass.
