Abstract
In the 20th century the idea of preservation was developed. And in recent 2O years, people have started to recognize the importance of the civil work museums in many places.
The issue of preservation was triggered by the ruin of Parthenon as the restoration of old architectural style. And now the issue has been changed to the environment as a wholc.
From 1991 to 2000, “Open Air Museum including Dejima wharf” has been planned in Tokiwa-Dejima district. This museum is not for a specific article nor a facility. Main purpose of this museum is to reconstruct and exhibit the ancient civil works which played important roll in forming the city of Nagasaki. Secondary, as this new district has many products and facilities of civil engineering and civic design, we should exhibit these heritage to the general public.
