FOUNDATION FOR AINU CULTURE

　The Ainu Museum's history ended in March 2018 due to the construction of Upopoy, but the spirit of the museum lives on in Upopoy and its core facility, the National Ainu Museum. Cultural revival and creation, and harmony between diverse ethnic groups are like the two wheels of a car and the synergetic effects of these activities will revitalize society as a whole. In this new national museum, the Ainu people are the agents and will take up its mission, but at the same time, people from diverse ethnic groups around the world can gather here with Ainu culture as a point of contact and participate in its revival and creation. Through this process, we aim to contribute to the revitalization, not only of Japanese society, but of human society as a whole... This is About The Museum page.
