Saitama Museum of Natural History (埼玉県立自然の博物館, Saitama kenritsu shizen no hakubutsukan) is a prefectural museum of natural history in Nagatoro, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The museum opened in 1981 and replaced "史" with "の" in its Japanese name in 2006.[2] The Museum supersedes the Chichibu Natural Science Museum (秩父自然科学博物館) (1949–1980) and the Mineral and Plant Specimen Gallery (鑛物植物標本陳列所) (1921–1949), founded by the Chichibu Railway Company.[1][2] The collection includes 56 pieces from a Stegodon aurorae skeleton found in 1975, of which there are a further 3 pieces in the Sayama City Museum; both assemblages have been designated a Prefectural Natural Monument.[3]
