This museum introduces the history of Christianity in the region, centered on the Shimabara Rebellion (Shimabara-Amakusa Uprising), and reopened in 2010 as the Amakusa Municipal Amakusa Christian Museum.
The exhibition is divided into four zones: "History of Amakusa Christianity," "Introduction of Western Culture to Amakusa," "Shimabara-Amakusa Uprising," and "Restoration of Amakusa after the rebellion and Christian Faith." There are approximately 200 valuable relics on display, including fumi-e, a stepping plate used to reveal Christians and the Marian statue, which was secretly protected by Christians.
Among them is the "Amakusa Shiro Battle Flag," a National Important Cultural Property that was used during the Shimabara-Amakusa Uprising. The flag depicts a chalice and communion bread in the center and two angels on either side, as well as retains bloodstains and arrow marks. It is open to the public only during the designated times (visit the official website for the public schedule).
