6 min read

Event Overview

The Tottori Prefectural Museum presents a special exhibition titled "New Treasures Unveiled: The New Acquisitions Exhibition," focusing on the vital role of 'collection' in a museum. The museum houses a massive collection of approximately 200,000 items across natural history, history, folklore, and art and crafts. This exhibition highlights the charm of recently acquired items, many of which have had very limited opportunities for public display until now.

Highlights & What to Expect

The main draw of this exhibition is the chance to encounter "fresh" materials that the museum has recently acquired. You can enjoy the fascinating process of how these treasures—collected through donations, purchases, or field research—were brought into the collection. By viewing these items through a professional lens, you will gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of Tottori and the cutting edge of museum research.

Schedule

The exhibition runs from September 13, 2026 (Sunday) to September 27, 2026 (Saturday).

Venue & Access

The exhibition is held in the 2nd Floor Special Exhibition Room of the Tottori Prefectural Museum.
