Design drawing of Hyokeian (dedication museum)
In the photograph of crowds flocking to the Tutankhamen exhibition held in 1966, you can see the site where Tokyokan had not yet been built and Hyokeikan on the upper left side.
The ornaments created in the motif of drafting tools and musical instruments are attached to the upper part of the building's outer wall.

Hyokeikan is a neo-baroque style building. Since the building got older and its roof began to leak since around 2001, large-scale repairs were carried out in 2006. The walls of exhibition rooms were painted in cream, pillars in white and wooden door fittings in pale green during the repairs, and brought back to the original state. Eastern sculptures, craftworks and archaeological remains are displayed in the exhibition rooms.
