Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum

松本清張記念館

Using exhibits and graphic panels, the Matsumoto Seicho Memorial Museum offers an introduction to the broad array of creative activities of author Matsumoto Seicho from Kitakyushu City. The giant, 22 meter (72 foot) long timeline consisting of a chronological history of Matsumoto’s life and old news reels packs a powerful punch! An original animated feature entitled “Lines and Dots” is also screened in the museum’s Detective Theater!
