Episoade

Ten-story pagoda 06.11.2025

This tall stone once stood in what is now North Korea. Dismantled during the Japanese occupation and later rebuilt in Seoul, it carries the traces of travel, loss, and the long return of beauty.

Golden Crown 06.11.2025

This dazzling gold shows how the Korean peninsula was already connected to the wider Eurasian world - through trade, belief, and imagination that shimmered across thousands of miles.

Hand axe 06.11.2025

This quiet stone changed how we see East Asia. Shaped nearly 300,000 years ago, it revealed that early humans here made tools just like those in Africa and Europe, proving that the story of human beginnings was never one-directional.

Songline Painting | Room 24 17.08.2025

Bronze heads and coral crowns, history stolen.

Assyrian Palace Reliefs | Room 7 17.08.2025

Walls that spoke of kings, conquest, and gods.

A jar scratched with the birth of writing.

Lewis Chessmen | Room 40 17.08.2025

Chessmen from Norway, lost on a Scottish beach.

Astrolabe | Room 42 17.08.2025

A golden compass to read stars, time, and faith.

Maya Yaxchilan Lintels | Room 27 17.08.2025

Tally Sticks | Room 1 17.08.2025

Wooden sticks that burned down Parliament — and lit the story of writing.
