Description:
The University Museum Situated on the fourth floor of the Central Library, the University Museum enjoys a central loca tion on campus that allows it to show its 10,000 displays from archaeology, history, art and folklore to a large number of students. Since opening in 1955, the Museum has been steadily growing, adding important items to its collection. Several departments comprise the museum, namely:
Prehistoric Ages, Bronze and Iron Ages, Era of the Three Kingdoms, and the IAUP (Internaional Association of University Presidents) exhibition room. These exhibits contain numerous invaluable items, such as rare prehistoric jars and a golden crown from its Shilla Dynasty collection.
The Museum`s most esteemed exhibit, however, is a display of priceless Wadang (a type of tile used for roofing in ancient Korea). Eighty five rare Goguryo Wadang have attracted the keen attention of Korean historians. The unparalleled quality and completeness of the Museum`s Wadang Collection reflects the University`s desire to provide the finest available facilities to its students.
