【Special Summer Exhibition】"Animals and Plants in West Asia”
15 July 2023 (Sat.) - 10 September 2023 (Sun.) 【Special Summer Exhibition】 "Animals and Plants in West Asia”
About ten thousand years ago, people in Western Asia began cultivating wheat and domesticating livestock such as goats. This new way of life brought about significant changes in the relationship between the people of Western Asia and animals and plants, providing one of the factors that laid the foundation for the way we enjoy today. In this exhibition, we have gathered a collection of artifacts representing animals and plants from prehistory to the Middle Ages, inspired by the concept of a zoo. Through the exhibition, we will introduce the history and culture concerning animals, plants, and humans.
Note: During this period, the permanent exhibition will be closed to the public..
