The original Fūjukan was donated to the university in 1967, while it was still located on the former Shuri campus. In 1983, with the relocation of the University to the Senbaru campus, planning began for a new specimen repository. Construction of the new facility was completed in March 1985 and, after the transfer in of the collection, the new Fūjukan opened in September of the same year. In 2015, the Fūjukan was elevated to the status of University Museum. Publications
