This stone slab, which covered the ceiling of a \uc11d\uc2e4 in a \uace0\ubd84 from the \ud6c4\ubc18 5th century during the peak of the ancient Gaya confederacy state, Aragaya, bears 191 star etchings. It is the only ancient star map identified in the \ud55c\ubc18\ub3c4 \ub0a8\ubd80, serving as crucial evidence of Aragaya&#x27;s advanced \ucc9c\ubb38\ud559\uc801 and \uacfc\ud559\uc801 \uc9c0\uc2dd.<\/p>\n<p>Its academic significance is particularly high as it is the \ucd5c\ucd08 confirmed depiction of a star map from a Gaya \uace0\ubd84. It offers invaluable insights into the \ucc9c\ubb38 \uc0ac\uc0c1 of the Aragaya people and the patterns of \ucc9c\ubb38\ud559\uc801 \ubb38\ud654\uc801 exchange in East Asia during that \uc2dc\uac04. The Ham&#x27;an \ubc15\ubb3c\uad00 has created a dedicated \uacf5\uac04 called the &quot;Star Gazing Room&quot; for this \uc720\ubb3c, providing \uad00\ub78c\uac1d with a \ubab0\uc785\ud615 \uc5f0\ucd9c through a screen projection that visualizes the star constellations.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Hye-min, a \ud559\uc608\uc0ac at the Ham&#x27;an \ubc15\ubb3c\uad00, expressed her hope that the &quot;Star Gazing Room&quot; would not merely display the \uc720\ubb3c but also allow \uad00\ub78c\uac1d to quietly contemplate the constellations on the capping stone, connecting the \uacfc\uac70 and \ud604\uc7ac. She emphasized that the stars observed by the Aragaya people 1,500 years ago are the same stars we see today, hoping the &quot;Star Gazing Room&quot; will be remembered as a \uacf5\uac04 that links the skies of the \uacfc\uac70 and \ud604\uc7ac, and the hearts of people.<\/p>\n<h2>Yangju Municipal Chang Uc-chin Museum of Art&#x27;s &quot;Animal Family&quot;: An Artist&#x27;s Innocence and Daily Life<\/h2>\n<p>The Yangju Municipal Chang Uc-chin \ubbf8\uc220\uad00 is participating in the program with &quot;\ub3d9\ubb3c\uac00\uc871,&quot; a \ubcbd\ud654 personally painted by \uc791\uac00 Chang Uc-chin on the \ubcbd\uba74 of his Deokso studio. This \ubcbd\ud654, depicting a cow, chickens, pigs, and a dog gathered like a \uac00\uc871, beautifully captures \uc791\uac00 Chang Uc-chin&#x27;s unique pure and simple \uac10\uc131. The fact that it was carefully removed from the \ubcbd\uba74 of the Deokso studio, which was \ucca0\uac70 \uc608\uc815, adds even more special \uc758\ubbf8 to the \uc791\ud488.<\/p>\n<p>The simple and serene depiction of the animals conveys warm relationships where they lean on each other. The solitary figure of the dog, however, offers a glimpse into the \uc791\uac00 \uace0\ub3c5 and \ub0b4\uba74 as he devoted himself to his \uc791\uc5c5, separated from his \uac00\uc871. The display of \uc2e4\uc81c ox nose rings and bells alongside the \uc791\ud488 vividly conveys the \uc815\uc11c of that era, making it a \ub3c5\ud2b9\ud55c \ub9e4\ub825 of this piece.<\/p>\n<p>Kim Myeong-hun, a \ud559\uc608\uc0ac at the Yangju Municipal Chang Uc-chin \ubbf8\uc220\uad00, explained that &quot;\ub3d9\ubb3c\uac00\uc871&quot; faithfully embodies \uc791\uac00 Chang Uc-chin&#x27;s approach to \uc0dd\ud65c, where \uc608\uc220 and \uc77c\uc0c1 converged. He added that the \uc791\uc5c5, moved from the \ubcbd\uba74 of his Deokso studio, contains traces of the \uc791\uac00 \uc0dd\ud65c and \uc791\uc5c5, and the humble animal figures convey warm \uc815\uc11c amidst \uc77c\uc0c1.<\/p>\n<div class=\"kstories-terms-box\" style=\"margin:32px 0 20px;padding:22px 24px;border:1px solid #e3e8f0;border-radius:16px;background:#f8fbff;line-height:1.9\">\n<div style=\"font-size:1.15em;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:12px\">\uc774 \uae30\uc0ac\uc5d0 \uc0ac\uc6a9\ub41c \ud55c\uad6d\uc5b4 \uc6a9\uc5b4<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:1em\">firsts(\ucd5c\ucd08), collections(\uc18c\uc7a5\ud488), museums(\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00), art galleries(\ubbf8\uc220\uad00), visitors(\uad00\ub78c\uac1d), opportunity(\uae30\ud68c), Korean culture(\ud55c\uad6d \ubb38\ud654), moments(\uc21c\uac04), cultural experiences(\ubb38\ud654 \uacbd\ud5d8), institution(\uae30\uad00), Korean Museum Association(\ud55c\uad6d\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00\ud611\ud68c), Week(\uc8fc\uac04), Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism(\ubb38\ud654\uccb4\uc721\uad00\uad11\ubd80), ICOM Korea (International Council of Museums, Korea Committee)(\uad6d\uc81c\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00\ud611\uc758\ud68c \ud55c\uad6d\uc704\uc6d0\ud68c), extension(\uc5f0\uc7a5), representative artifact(\ub300\ud45c \uc720\ubb3c), relics(\uc720\ubb3c), cultural value(\ubb38\ud654\uc801 \uac00\uce58), foundation(\uadfc\uac04), historically recorded moments(\uc5ed\uc0ac\uc801 \uc21c\uac04), creative works(\ucc3d\uc791\ubb3c), cultural(\ubb38\ud654\uc801), competition(\uacf5\ubaa8), operate(\uc6b4\uc601), educational(\uad50\uc721), experiential(\uccb4\ud5d8), exhibition(\uc804\uc2dc), historical(\uc5ed\uc0ac\uc801), scientific(\uacfc\ud559\uc801), experience(\uacbd\ud5d8), Tomb(\uace0\ubd84), stone chamber(\uc11d\uc2e4), late(\ud6c4\ubc18), southern Korean peninsula(\ud55c\ubc18\ub3c4 \ub0a8\ubd80), astronomical(\ucc9c\ubb38\ud559\uc801), scientific knowledge(\uacfc\ud559\uc801 \uc9c0\uc2dd), astronomical beliefs(\ucc9c\ubb38 \uc0ac\uc0c1), astronomical cultural(\ucc9c\ubb38\ud559\uc801 \ubb38\ud654\uc801), period(\uc2dc\uac04), space(\uacf5\uac04), immersive experience(\ubab0\uc785\ud615 \uc5f0\ucd9c), curator(\ud559\uc608\uc0ac), past(\uacfc\uac70), present(\ud604\uc7ac), Animal Family(\ub3d9\ubb3c\uac00\uc871), mural(\ubcbd\ud654), artist(\uc791\uac00), wall(\ubcbd\uba74), family(\uac00\uc871), sensibility(\uac10\uc131), slated for demolition(\ucca0\uac70 \uc608\uc815), meaning(\uc758\ubbf8), artwork(\uc791\ud488), artist&#x27;s solitude(\uc791\uac00 \uace0\ub3c5), inner world(\ub0b4\uba74), work(\uc791\uc5c5), actual(\uc2e4\uc81c), emotional atmosphere(\uc815\uc11c), unique charm(\ub3c5\ud2b9\ud55c \ub9e4\ub825), life(\uc0dd\ud65c), art(\uc608\uc220), daily life(\uc77c\uc0c1)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kstories-variant-link\" style=\"margin:18px 0 6px;text-align:right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/en\/cul260527002-en\/\" style=\"padding:10px 18px;border:1px solid #7c3aed;border-radius:14px;color:#7c3aed;font-weight:700;text-decoration:none;background:#fff\">English Version<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-inline-image\" style=\"margin:24px 0;text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/cul260527002_04.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-inline-image\" style=\"margin:24px 0;text-align:center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"https:\/\/kstories.kr\/kr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/cul260527002_05.jpg\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:100%;height:auto\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cMuseum x Meet\u201d Program Extended Through June, Spotlighting Historic &#x27;\ucd5c\ucd08&#x27;
