The National Gyeongju Museum is currently hosting a groundbreaking exhibition of six Silla gold crowns, artifacts from the golden culture of the Silla Dynasty, which began on November 2nd. This exhibition, significant as it brings these historically important crowns together for the first time, is expected to be a recurring event every decade, showcasing a blend of archaeological research and cultural identity. The museum has stated intentions to solidify this exhibition series as a hallmark of its brand, planning to expand the display in the upcoming 2035 exhibition to include gold crowns from other regions as well, thereby examining their broader sociocultural roles.

Since its launch, this special exhibition has drawn considerable attention, with over 250,000 visitors recorded within just a few months and daily attendance averaging around 2,561. This notable success was amplified by international interest, particularly from media coverage of the exhibition's links to past events, such as the gift of a replica gold crown to former U.S. President Donald Trump. Given such interest, the museum has decided to extend the exhibition beyond its initial conclusion date to accommodate more visitors, illustrating its cultural significance and the renewed public fascination with the Silla Dynasty's treasures.

Additionally, the museum has announced plans to collaborate with institutions in the surrounding regions of Yeongnam by displaying Silla gold crowns alongside local heritage artifacts in efforts to enhance the community's appreciation of cultural heritage. These initiatives reflect a broader commitment to engage local audiences and signify the importance of preserving and promoting Korea's rich historical legacy through accessible cultural experiences.
