‘Space_Sai’, newly opened on March 21, is designed as a multi-sensory experience centered on the sound of Korean bronze bells. It is structured to allow visitors to perceive the principles of the bronze bell sound visually, auditorily, and tactilely, and also features media art based on the actual sound of the Emille Bell (Seongdeok Daewang Sinjong).

In the fourth week, the Gojoseon, Buyeo, and Samhan Room hosts a theme titled ‘Iron Culture of Samhan’, examining the purposes and uses of iron artifacts on display.
