Treasure Chest Unwrapping the Beauty of Baekje
The Buyeo National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage has been on a long journey toward restoring original Baekje sites such as Busosanseong Fortress in Buyeo and Wanggung-ri Archaeological Site in Iksan, since it first deployed its Excavation Team for Mireuksa Temple Site. The institute has recently implemented an academic investigation of the royal tombs and royal palaces of the late Baekje period. In an effort to more fully demonstrate the attributes and characteristics of Koreans of the past, the institute is working to identify both the substance and essence of elements of Baekje culture.
Academic Research on the Royal Tombs of the Late Baekje Period
Following systemic investigations and in-depth combined studies of the royal tombs of the Baekje Kingdom (The Tomb of King Muryeong in Gongju and the royal tombs in Gongju and Buyeo), the institute is conducting a restoration of ancient rituals and funeral rites at royal tombs. Based on the restoration, it will provide the local community and academics with research data that can support the proper restoration and repair of historical sites and promote their eventual registration as World Heritage. In addition, user-focused personalized cultural content is being developed and utilized for sharing with the public.
Academic Research on the Royal Palaces of the Late Baekje Period
The institution is actively working to illuminate the origins of and changes in the royal palaces (Gwanbuk-ri Site and Busosanseong Fortress in Buyeo and Wanggung-ri Site in Iksan) by engaging in timely systematic investigations. It also intends to reconstruct the historic and cultural environment of Baekje’s Sabi period through indepth interdisciplinary research. In addition, the investigation and research results will contribute to the local community by aiding in the planning of nationwide prompt exhibitions, receiving feedback on them, and creating participatory cultural content.
