The permanent exhibition zone is divided into four sections: "Ainu," which gathers folk tools used in daily life; "Kamuy," which touches on spiritual culture such as prayers and beliefs; "Mosir," which displays materials related to agriculture, hunting, and funerals; and "Morew," which focuses on beautiful Ainu patterns.
