  • 保存された見学できる石室

    横穴式と言う複数埋葬できるように作られた石室だそうですが、その石室を公開しており、他にはなかなかこういう施設は見当たらないのではないかと思う。盗掘された跡があった影響なのか、発掘された当時の写真や様子などからの解説が乏しいのが残念ですが、メインの博物館よりも別館で離れた所にあるこちらの方が、興味深い展示館でした。

    駐車場の位置が分かり難い。将軍山古墳寄りに停めたら博物館まで一キロ位歩かされる羽目に。JAF割引有、ペイペイ対応で120円。国宝展示室は接写撮影禁止、資料の安全上ガラスケースの上からの写真撮影は禁止です!と一方的な注文が多過ぎるもののご愛敬。
  • 最安値、見る価値あり!

    昨年熊本の江田船山古墳に行き、古墳の内部は見学できたけどワカタケル銘の大刀の実物はなく見られなかった。こちらの博物館にはワカタケル銘鉄剣の実物を展示しているとHPにあったので行ってきました。先に稲荷山古墳に登り、石棺跡の配置図を見てから博物館へ。鉄剣の他、多数の国宝埋蔵品を間近に見ることができました。帯金具の輝きは藤ノ木古墳のものよりも綺麗な保存状態でびっくりで感動もんでした。こんなにたくさん...
