Kumagusu Minakata (1867–1941), who made Tanabe City in Wakayama Prefecture the base of his research and life in his later years, was notable for staying connected to the global flow of intellectual information. Living in the small city of Tanabe on the Kii Peninsula, he engaged with scholars overseas and contributed to scientific journals in London. Rooted in the lives of local people and the natural ecosystem, his approach aimed at a universal understanding of the world, a stance that remains exemplary and widely recognized across various fields in the 21st century.

The Minakata Kumagusu Archives opened on May 14, 2006, to permanently preserve his library and materials left in the Minakata residence, promote research on Kumagusu, and utilize these findings to honor him. The museum carefully preserves its collections while making them widely accessible to the public.

Along with the museum's opening, the Minakata residence was also reopened to the public. The museum provides information and learning opportunities about Kumagusu, while the residence allows visitors to experience the place and space that served as the foundation for his life and research.
