Saitama Museum of Natural History (埼玉県立自然の博物館, Saitama kenritsu shizen no hakubutsukan) is a prefectural museum of natural history in Nagatoro, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The museum opened in 1981 and replaced "史" with "の" in its Japanese name in 2006. The Museum supersedes the Chichibu Natural Science Museum (秩父自然科学博物館) (1949–1980) and the Mineral and Plant Specimen Gallery (鑛物植物標本陳列所) (1921–1949), founded by the Chichibu Railway Company. The collection includes 56 pieces from a Stegodon aurorae skeleton found in 1975, of which there are a further 3 pieces in the Sayama City Museum; both assemblages have been designated a Prefectural Natural Monument.
