Ancient Tree Stories Told by a Conservation Scientist
보존과학자가 들려주는 고대 나무 이야기
The National Museum of Daegu presents a special exhibition exploring ancient wooden artifacts from the Three Kingdoms period through scientific analysis. Wood artifacts are rare cultural treasures, far more fragile than ceramics or metals, and offer unique insights into past civilizations. The exhibition reveals the techniques used to identify wood species in ancient objects: pine, elm, Mongolian oak, and mulberry. You'll discover how conservation scientists determine wood types using microscopic images of wood tissues and hands-on observation activities, while also viewing detailed botanical illustrations and modern wood samples to better understand these species.
