The National Museum of Korea presents the special exhibition "New Scientific Revelations about the Gold Crown from Seobongchong Tomb", shedding new light on one of Korea’s most sublime artifacts: gold crown. Seobongchong Tomb in Gyeongju, constructed by the people of Silla, was initially investigated in 1926. The excavation uncovered a gold crown with a very unique feature: a phoenix decoration on the top.
The displays provide an in-depth explanation of the scientific principles involved in the production of Silla gold crowns.
