[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] The Sangju Museum in Gyeongbuk announced on the 19th that it will hold a small exhibition titled "Seeing the Sangju Underground Relics and Artifacts - Introduction to Nationally Owned Artifacts Exhibition I" until July 31.

This exhibition showcases previously little-known excavation sites in the Sangju area. The exhibition focuses on the Sangju Nakdong Sangchon-ri and Gujam-ri sites and their artifacts.

The Sangju Sangchon-ri and Gujam-ri sites were discovered during excavation surveys conducted from 2013 to 2015 during the construction of the Sangju-Yeongcheon Expressway. A variety of remains including tombs, pottery kilns, and house sites from the Three Kingdoms period to the Joseon Dynasty were unearthed, along with a large number of 894 artifacts.

Director Yoon Ho-pil said, "We hope that by exhibiting newly acquired nationally owned artifacts each year under various themes, it will be an opportunity to widely inform many people about the relics and artifacts."

The Sangju Museum is an institution designated by the Cultural Heritage Administration for the storage and management of nationally owned artifacts. It receives nationally owned artifacts excavated in the region and currently stores and manages over 6,900 artifacts.
