Exhibition
It’s a “Smol” World
Archaeology at Its Cutest
19 April – 24 July 2022
Have you ever walked through the archaeology section of a history museum and thought, “Man, who cares about all these dusty jars from old graves?” and shuffled over to more interesting exhibits? Well, saddle up your haniwa horses and make your way through the cutest exhibition this museum has ever seen! This exhibition showcases a few of the most adorable artifacts in our museum’s collection, selected by members of the Kyuhaku Women’s Archaeology Club, and hopes to introduce a new way for our visitors to approach archaeology.
Welcome to Kyuhaku at Home!
Kyuhaku, short for Kyushu National Museum, is home to
the Womens' Archaeology Club, and Ajippa, an interactive
exhibition gallery.
Kyuhaku at Home is a video series by these groups that
aims to bring fun activities from the museum to your
home!
We'd love to see your creations! Upload pictures of your work on Twitter with the #ouchi989 hashtag so that we can enjoy your masterpieces!
Kyuhaku at Work!
Loosely inspired by the popular Japanese TV programme Jounetsu Tairiku, this video series casts a spotlight onto some of the people working behind the scenes in Kyushu National Museum (Kyuhaku), bringing you an insider view into their work, as well as their aspirations for the museum.
