    "description_ja": "造幣博物館は、明治44年（1911年）に火力発電所として建てられた建物で、造幣局構内に残る唯一の明治時代のレンガ造りの西洋風建物です。昭和44年（1969年）に建物の保全を図り、当局が保管していた貴重な貨幣などを一般公開し、造幣事業を紹介するため当時の外観をそのままに改装し「造幣博物館」として開館しました。平成20年(2008年)より「人に優しい博物館、環境に配慮した博物館、魅せる博物館」を目指し、展示や設備に最新の手法を導入し、皆様方により親しんでいただけるよう大改装を行い、平成21年(2009年)4月にリニュアルオープンしました。",
    "description_en": "The Mint Museum occupies a building raised in Meiji 44 (1911) as a thermal power station, the only brick, Western-style building of the Meiji period left within the grounds of the Mint Bureau. In Showa 44 (1969), in order to conserve it and to open to the public the valuable coins the Bureau held and explain the work of minting, it was converted with its exterior left as it stood and opened as the Mint Museum. From Heisei 20 (2008), under the aims of a museum that is kind to people, mindful of the environment and worth looking at, the latest methods were brought into the displays and the facilities in a thorough rebuilding, and it reopened in April of Heisei 21 (2009).",
