The Museum of Natural and Environmental History,Shizuoka(ふじのくに地球環境史ミュージアム,Fujinokuni chikyu-kankyo-shi museum) is a prefectural museum in Shizuoka City, Japan.

The prefectural museum is a post-war development in Japan. These museums tend to be large and some are more distinguished for their architecture than for the collections they hold. Since these institutions are of recent origin, their collections tend not to contain older Japan arts. Meiji era and 20th-century art, with an emphasis on local art, tend to dominate the collections. The prefectural museums do host exhibitions from collections from Tokyo, though these exhibits tend to be contemporary as well.

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
