- Attraction Introduction -

The Ancient Oriental Museum, located in Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, is
Japan's first museum dedicated to the ancient Orient. Its exhibits include
artifacts from West Asia and Egypt, as well as archaeological materials and
artifacts related to the Silk Road, which connects Eastern and Western
civilizations across Eurasia. In addition, the museum displays items unearthed
during archaeological excavations in Syria.

- Exhibition Introduction -

The "Collection Exhibition" showcases the museum's collections and related
materials. As a crossroads of Africa, Europe, and Asia, the "Orient" has
brought together and integrated diverse cultures, significantly influencing
the development of human history. By viewing the artifacts and artworks left
behind by the ancient Orient, visitors can gain a closer understanding of the
lives of people in those times.

A limited-time exhibition will also be held from April 25, 2026 to May 6,
2026.

A special Golden Week event, "Oriental Museum Special Week: Hands-on
Experience! Fun in the Oriental World," will be held.

The event will feature interactive hands-on quizzes with replicas of exhibits
that can be touched, as well as jigsaw puzzles that allow participants to
experience the pottery restoration process—special experience zones available
only during Golden Week. Adults and children alike can easily connect with and
learn about the history and culture of the ancient East through hands-on
activities.
