Exhibition outline

Approximately 9,000 excavations are conducted each year throughout Japan, but opportunities to actually handle the results of these are extremely limited. For this reason, to allow more people to gain familiarity with Japan’s buried cultural assets and to deepen public understanding of the importance of protecting these, this exhibition will offer a display of approximately 670 objects from 51 ruins and other archaeological sites.
