Journey back through time at a special exhibition currently underway inSeoul and retrace the ancient history of two long–ago Korean kingdoms: Balhae (A.D. 698-926) and Goryeo (A.D. 918-1392). The National Museum of Korea recently released a treasure trove datingback to the two kingdoms, including an array of more than 230 recentlyexcavated artifacts.
