The museum is not big but has many interesting collections with good explanations. I think this item, which is labeled a bronze dagger, is more likely a spearhead because the part that connects to the spear shaft can be seen at the bottom.

This museum was awesome! Interactive exhibits and a massive life size tree in the middle. Also many nice ancient Japanese artefacts. Was pleasantly surprised especially for the price (400 yen for adults and free with a university ID)

好きな人にはえらい刺さる博物館。遼東半島の先史時代遺跡の紹介なんて他で見られるんだろうか？アルタイ山脈まで伸びる北方系青銅器文化の紹介は、併せて教科書で習わない遼河文明を言うんだろうし、唐古遺跡の絵画土器は、靫形埴輪の円弧文は、蓋（きぬがさ）形埴輪の美しさはとか、きっと意図あって展示しているのだろうし、一知半解な輩はその掌の上でせいぜい遊ばせてもらうばかりであるが、実に楽しくてたまらない。 ブースには1955年に京大が行ったアフガニスタン探検の映像が流れていて、その探検隊の1人の旅行記を読むと、アフガンで風化寸前の中世モンゴル語を話すモゴール族に邂逅する、その往時のモンゴル帝国の栄光を実際に発見する壮大なロマンは圧巻。しかし、そんな荒涼としたアフガンの山地でふと日本を思い、夜空を見上げて故郷の京都の夏の大文字を憶うだなんてどだい東京住まいにはできないこととやはり文雅な京都人に憧憬すら覚えるものである。曰く、「夜、自分のテントに帰って日記の日付を書いたとき、まったく突然に京の街の夏のにぎわいの、はなやかな情緒を思い出してすこし切ない気持ちになる。今日は大文字の日なんだ。ゆかたの人の群れとうちわの波」（『モゴール族探検記』梅棹忠夫）。

A great museum with a great collection of science-history related items. I like the chimpanzee and gorilla section the most. Lots of new information. Well organized with English description. The entrance fee is not expensive. Several sections with interactive opportunities. The memorizing-numbers game is my favorite. Also, a lot of insects too. Probably a great place to visit if one is interested in animals and insects. Very nice experience. Comfortable...
