 The National Museum of Korea is proud to present, as the first Special Exhibition of 2023,
 "Companions on the Eternal Journey - Earthenware Figurines and Vessels from Ancient Korea".
 The Figurative pottery and clay figurine-decorated pottery used in the funerary rituals of 
 Silla and Gaya contain valuable information on how ancient people lived and how they 
 perceived the afterlife. This exhibition presents approximately 300 pieces of Figurative pottery
 and clay figurine-decorated pottery. They include around 100 pieces of clay figurine-decorated
 pottery found in Hwangnam-dong, in Gyeongju, during the period of Japanese occupation,
 which have recently been reattached. The exhibition also features the entire collection of
 figurative pottery recently excavated from Malisan Tomb 45, in Haman.
 We invite you to come to the exhibition and hear the stories told by the figurative and clay
 figurine-decorated pottery which, around 1600 years ago, acted as special companions to the
 deceased on their journey to the afterlife.
