The Living Past In The Presence,
Bridging It To The Future
As we walk through the long halls,we could feel the sense of past while living in the presence. We kept on walking and what we explore are even more essence of our past, our culture, our symbolism of our nation.These are the halls of National Museum Yangon,located in Dagon, Yangon where the past of Burma still lives. Our culture group of both Myanmar and Japan had this site visit with the IDFC 2019 program and even Japanese participants could feel ,the values of Burma. We could have all these authentic reflection of the memories which is from historical times to the recent past by having preserved, researched and finally experience them in the museum with the purpose of education and enjoyment. It was founded in 1952. This new five story National Museum has been open to public since 18 September 1996.After seeing the origins of Myanmar alphabets and others, we talk , we walk.Then we took a step to a room having the sense that something is off. Then we behold the magnificent Royal Lion Throne of our last monarch King Thibaw in all its original majesty, looking up to the superiors from the past. And so we walk , we walk with enjoyment, excitement with deep interest in each then we walk up the stairs uprising like a future yet coming to have more interest even deeper journey to the past.
Through the site visit in Japan we found that some of beautiful Japanese culture still stays same until now and some were evolved as time changes. The Tokyo Metropolitan Edo-Tokyo Museum which located in Tokyo opened its doors in March 1993. In the Museum we can reflect on the history and culture of Edo,Tokyo, and envision the city and life of future. The exhibition showcasing original objects and replicas take us a journey through 400-year history of japan from Edo period to the presence. The Edo-period is from 1603-1868 which exist about 260 years of time, that period is not long period of time but the period developed the unique Japanese original culture. Therefore by visiting museum teach us the changes of our life style and also the changes of City of Tokyo itself. In the museum, Japanese traditional artworks such as Ukiyoe, architecture, cultural heritage and commercial situation and more is exhibiting. After visiting the museum, we felt that Japanese traditional art culture which developed in Edo-period such as Sumo.
Experiencing this impressive existence of these museums, realizing all the potential of diverse cultural value, it is a place where all past,present and future meet for us.
