The Museum of the Ancient Orient
Established in 1978, the Museum of the Ancient Orient is Japan's first museum themed around the ancient Orient, offering a journey through history and learning. On the permanent exhibition floors, you can trace the developmental history of the ancient world, from hunting and gathering lifestyles around 1 million years ago to the invention of writing and the formation of states. Key exhibits include stone tools used by primitive humans, restored models of ancient villages, pottery buried with the deceased, and artifacts showcasing East-West cultural exchange. Don't miss these fascinating displays!
The Museum of the Ancient Orient also hosts special exhibitions focusing on various themes. As these are special exhibitions available only for a limited time, be sure to check the official website in advance to see what's on during your visit.
