Capturing History in a Single Snapshot

50 YEARS AGO, IN 1973, THE CHEONMACHONG TOMB EXCAVATION TEAM PIONEERED
KOREA’S FIRST-EVER SCIENTIFIC EXCAVATION.

Within our midst, there are those who retrieve t the fragments of history.
Their passion, dedication, and benevolence
serve as testament to the countless years that have passed,
passing down cultural heritage infused with the essence of our history to future generations.
Beyond conservation and restoration, they rejuvenate the value of cultural heritage,
weaving connections with the past, intertwining with the present,
and laying the foundation for the future.
We are the National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage.
