Description:
Located in Gyeongju, the hometown of Silla, Gyeongju University Museum has some 2,300 artifacts in its collection. Most of the artifacts are roof tiles from the Silla Era, and include stoneware from the Bronze Age, earthenware and ironware from the Ancient Three Kingdoms Era, and murals from the late Joseon Dynasty. Most of these artifacts were excavated from Gyeongju and its surroundings by the museum or donated. In particular, the earthen furnace used for fabrication of bronze products, which was excavated from the ancient town remains of the Unified Silla Dynasty in the residential site at Dongcheon-dong in Gyeongju-si, is such a valuable relic that it was exhibited at an extraordinary exhibition of National Museum of Korea, "Unified Silla Dynasty." Further, the ceramic earthenware, spheres and knives, the artifacts of the Ancient Three Kingdoms Era--excavated from the tombs with wooden coffin rooms at Hwangseong-dong, Gyeongju-si in 1994--provides meaningful clue to the lifestyle of the era. In addition, the museum has numerous earthenware and roof tiles from the Silla Dynasty donated by the community residents, which are useful in studying the culture of the Silla era. In 200, the museum opened an exhibition hall and hosted a special exhibition called "Life of Silla People" with the artifacts mentioned above.
