National Museum of Ethnology

The National Museum of Ethnology contains more than 300,000 cultural artifacts from continents including Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas in its collection.

The museum, founded by anthropologists Tadao Umesao and Seiichi Izumi, opened its doors in November 1977 following its establishment in 1974.

The exhibition space divides the world into nine geographical regions, starting from Oceania and moving eastward through continents until reaching Japan.
