[1] The museum includes an experiment work room, library, citizens' gallery, meeting rooms, and gift shop, and an observation terrace on the 4th floor where people can view the area.

On front of the museum are displayed a 41 cm/45 3rd Year Type naval gun, an anchor, a rudder, and a screw from the Japanese Battleship Mutsu.

West of the museum are located the submersible research ship Shinkai, as well as the original Kure naval arsenal' big lathe (N° 15299) which was used to craft the Yamato's 46 cm/45 Type 94 naval gun.

The footage shows many identifiable parts of the wreckage, such as the chrysanthemum crest on the bow, one of the 5 m (16 ft)-diameter propellers, and a detached main gun turret.
