The Cultural Heritage Preservation Act categorizes antiquities as “national treasures,” “significant antiquities,” or “general antiquities,” depending on their rarity and value. The national treasures held in the collection of the Institute of History and Philology (IHP) consist of 50 items in 22 groups, all of which, aside from two rare books, are rare, exquisite archaeological artifacts. The “Approaching National Treasures” exhibition displays one national treasure at a time in a specialized case, bringing each national treasure close to the public with detailed introduction.
