National Museum of Korea reopens Prehistory and Ancient History Gallery
Visitors take a look around the newly reopened Prehistory and Ancient History Gallery at the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan District, Seoul, Friday, following a two-year renovation. The revamped exhibition showcases some 1,800 artifacts spanning the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Ages through Gojoseon, Buyeo, Samhan, Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla periods, offering an in-depth look into Korea’s ancient history. Notably, the Goguryeo section has been expanded by 1.7 times its previous size to reflect the kingdom’s historical significance, featuring a permanent display of a rubbing of the Stele of King Gwanggaeto the Great.
