In July of 1984, 358 bronze swords were excavated at the Kojindani Site. The number of swords found in one site exceeds the total number of bronze swords excavated nationwide to date. In the following year, bronze bellshaped vessels and spearheads were also excavated from the site, making a huge impact on the history of ancient times. (These bronze implements are designated as a National Treasure.) It can be said that this museum is a great compilation of the results of surveys and research at the mysterious Kojidani site.
