Abstract
Historical Village of Hokkaido (Hokkaido Kaitaku no Mura) is a regional outdoor museum of popular life. Opened in 1983, its 27 houses now exhibit some 15,000 folk materials. This report describes the activities and conservation problems of this outdoor exhibition, with special reference to variations in interior climate caused by the differences in construction materials, results of the application of different anti-corrosive agents to iron tools, tests on the fading of dyed fabrics and the control of insects, dust and visitors.
