The Murakami Kaizoku Museum (今治市村上海賊ミュージアム, Imabari-shi Murakami Kaizoku Myūjiamu) is a museum on the island of Ōshima in Imabari, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, dedicated to the Murakami Kaizoku [ja], the Murakami Clan "pirates" or "feudal navies" (suigun).[2] The museum opened as the Imabari City Murakami Suigun Museum (今治市村上水軍博物館) in 2004,[1] replacing the nearby Museum of Noshima Murakami Suigun (能島村上水軍資料館),[3] and changed to its current name on 1 April 2020.[4] The collection and displays include arms and armour, historic documents, and scale model boats.[2]
