This exhibition aims to provide a glimpse into the culture of Tanzania, primarily focusing on the Excavated Artifacts from the Isimila Archaeological Site, which were recovered by the Hanyang University excavation team in 2003, along with an introduction to Tanzania's Stone Age Culture and the cultural aspects of the Maasai People.

The Isimila Archaeological Site, located on a plateau in Iringa, southern Tanzania, is a Lower and Middle Paleolithic Site famous for the largest discovery of Acheulean Hand-axes in East Africa. The Maasai People possess one of the most distinguished and unique cultures among Africa's various tribes and cultures, and they are a representative African tribe who still maintain their Indigenous Traditions today.

The excavation of the Isimila Archaeological Site is highly significant as it was the first excavation conducted in Africa by Korean Archaeology and is a representative African site where Acheulean Stone Tools, similar to those found at the Jeongok-ri site in Korea, were unearthed. The Cultural Exhibition of the Maasai People, presented alongside Isimila's Lithic Industry (stone tool industry), briefly introduces the distinctive cultural characteristics of the Maasai, who uniquely maintain their traditions within Tanzania.
