The young museum collection spans from the Classical to British Colonial Period. Highlights include artefacts found on the island, items of trade and livelihood from the Early Modern or Colonial Period (1514-1828 ) and British Colonial Period (1828- 1965) and an Ancient Bath from the Classical Period (500BCE- 1153), Mausoleum foundations from the Medieval Islamic Period (1153-1514).〔Jameel, Mauroof.''Historic Periods of Maldives''〕 The museum is located at the hotel lobby and extends to the Ancient Bath and a Traditional House which are located at the heritage site. Notable exhibits include Chinese porcelain that could have arrived on this island during the Indian Ocean trade between South East Asia and the Middle East. Other interesting artefacts from the collection, representative of the lifestyle and trade that survived inhabitants of these coral atolls for centuries in the middle of the Indian Ocean, include grain measures, coconut oil making and lace equipment. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maamigili (Raa Atoll)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
