Welcome to the SHIRA Meteorite Museum (Web) !!

The 70 types of lunar meteorites collection

The SHIRA Meteorite Museum currently has a collection of 69 different types of lunar meteorites, and has recently purchased our 70th.

We hope to have 100 different types of lunar meteorites in our collection by the end of the year.

We purchased them after receiving contacts from experts and researching each one individually, so it is difficult to purchase them all at once, but if we can purchase 10 types per month, I think I will have a collection of 100 types of lunar meteorites by the end of 2025.

Currently, the total number of meteorites in the collection is 567, but we hope to have a collection of 1,000 by the end of the year.

After exhibiting around 80 types of meteorites from the SHIRA Meteorite Museum's meteorite collection at the 2025 Kansai world Expo, we have received requests to loan meteorites from all over the world, and it may be possible to exhibit the entire collection somewhere in the future, but for now we would like to carefully consider each item as we purchase them.
