What is the earth?  What is its origin?  How have the earth and life evolved?  And how are the earth and human beings related?  These are the fundamental questions geologists have asked themselves.  The research activities of the Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) attempt to address these questions.  Through the active research for more than 100 years, many new facts have been discovered and many new ideas have been presented.  Also a number of geological samples have been collected and stored, which form the basis of scientific progress.  The Geological Museum was designed to introduce the research of GSJ through the exhibitions of both natural samples and models.
