Five Treasures and VR Games... National Taean Maritime Heritage Exhibition Hall Reopens

Independent Exhibition Space for Celadon Lion Incense Burner and Other Treasures

Celadon Melon-Shaped Teapot and Jar Excavated from the Taean Shipwreck

The National Research Institute of Maritime Heritage under the Cultural Heritage Administration announced on December 5 that the National Taean Maritime Heritage Exhibition Hall will reopen on December 9.

The most significant change is the creation of the "Treasure Zone." An independent space has been set up at the center of the second permanent exhibition hall to display five treasures, including a celadon lion-shaped incense burner and a celadon maebyeong vase with lotus stem patterns. Videos emphasizing the features and beauty of these artifacts will also be shown.

New digital content has also been produced. The digital videos provide detailed views of ceramic patterns discovered from the Taean shipwreck and the Mado shipwrecks. The contents of wooden tablets and bamboo tags found on the Mado Line 1 and 3 shipwrecks are also presented through line drawings, enhancing the delivery of information.

Five large screens installed along the walls of the exhibition hall display panoramic videos featuring moving patterns of parrots, cranes, and willow trees.
