The exhibit features some 185 artifacts showcasing the two countries' deep cooperation in diplomatic, defense, economic and cultural fields, including the "Denny Taegeukgi," the oldest remaining prototype of Korea's national flag named after Owen Denny, an American consul who served as a diplomatic adviser to King Gojong in the late 19th century.
