RESEARCH & STUDY

Our curatorial department is made up of professionals from three fields - physical anthropology, folklore studies and archaeology.While these fields are independent of each other, our teams work together with common research themes and conduct joint.
With curators from different academic disciplines working on joint projects, our research works focus on shedding light on the evolution and history of humans from multiple perspectives.

Publishings & Publications

At the museum, in addition to the research bulletins which we publish annually, from time to time, we also produce pictorial records of our exhibitions and special exhibitions, and survey reports.
