Under the theme of "Ocean Ways, Asian Paths," this exhibition focuses on the cultural exchange that has taken place between different countries and regions throughout Asia. The display further seeks to describe how the dramatic history of Japan unfolded amidst and through these interactions. Starting with Paleolithic Period and going right through to the opening of Japan (which signaled the end of the Edo Period), this exhibition is split into 5 zones, displays 800-900 precious cultural assets, features exhibit pieces that guests can actually touch, and thus provides a full, accurate picture of history. Dark and atmospheric, the exhibition space really conveys the intrigue and allure of history. Along with the centrally located "main exhibition area," which features items that were of crucial importance for the cultural exchange that occurred in various different eras throughout history, there are a total of 11 related and inter-connected exhibition rooms for you to explore!

Here is the entrance of the Cultural Exchange Exhibition. Guests can borrow a free audio guide available in English, Korean and Chinese!
