Gimhae National Museum: People of Hyeondong, Gaya, Sea and Tombs

This exhibition at Gimhae National Museum's Gayanuri special gallery (18 September 2026–14 February 2027) explores the everyday life, production, sea trade and burial customs of Gaya communities through the Hyeondong site, which contained more than 900 tombs, and excavated objects including boat-shaped pottery. Official exhibition and press pages differ on the artifact count, so no precise total is asserted.
