The University Museum Situated on the fourth
floor of the Central Library, the University Museum enjoys
a central location 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 (International 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.
