The donation of the mummy of Pasherienptah in [[1904]] by the Director-General of Egypt's Department of Antiquities, Dr. Gaston Maspero, marked the beginning of the museum's Ancient Egyptian collections. Objects brought back by [[Otani Kozui|Ôtani Kôzui]], who led expeditions to Central Asia in [[1902]]-1914, similarly serve as the core of the museum's collection of artifacts from Western China and other parts of Central Asia.

The museum's collections of Ryukyuan materials has at its core a group of objects given to the museum in [[1884]] by the [[Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce]]. The Ministry had been collecting Ryukyuan ethnological objects for the German Anthropological Society, as objects to study; those objects not sent to Germany were given to the museum.
