Being located nearby the open-air museum, Historical Village, and somewhat similarly-managed by the same people, the Historical Museum of Hokkaido can be considered as a museum inside a museum.
What they differ on is content. The 'village' is more on the development of establishments, while the 'museum' is about the overall development of the people and their civilization.
If you loved the 'Village,' you'll love this as well. The museum did a great job gathering the pieces to chronicle the history of the city's people.
Don't miss out on any of the two (Historic Village and Historic museum), they cover some of the greatest parts of the nation's history.
See "Historical Village of Hokkaido".
