The life and culture of the people of the Kofun and Asuka periods will be handed down to the present
A museum dedicated to ancient history where you can visit cultural properties from the Kofun period to the Asuka period. This is a perfect spot for archaeology lovers, with permanent exhibitions on each theme that are easy to understand, as well as special and planned exhibitions on a regular basis. Kits for viewing the exhibits, such as the "sarcophagus puzzle," which assembles sarcophagi, and the "straight arc puzzle," which creates patterns popular in the Kofun period, are set up throughout the museum, allowing children to experience ancient history while playing. There is also a coffee shop near the entrance.
The photo shows the exterior that won the Japan Art Award. It's worth seeing.
A 1/150 scale diorama of the mausoleum of Emperor Nintoku. The surrounding area reproduces the buildings and the people living there. It is located in the basement, and you can overlook the whole view from the first floor.
A house-shaped haniwa excavated from Misono Tumulus in Yao City. It is rare that such a detailed construction remains, and it is an important material that tells the architecture of the Kofun period.
Shura is a wooden transportation tool from the Kofun period excavated from Mitsuzuka Tumulus in Fujiidera City, one of the representative exhibits. After 14 years of preservation, it became possible to display it.
You can see the shape of the sarcophagus change from the waribamboo-shaped to the nagamochi-shaped to the hollowed-out and combined-style houses depending on the period.
Made of hard and firm sofa material. Some people go to see the tumulus together.
The waterfowl haniwa, which are popular in the permanent exhibition, are the most popular.
