Silla: The Gold and Sacred Royal Treasures of Korea (4th Century BC – 935 AD)

For nearly a thousand years, the Kingdom of Silla shone brilliantly on the Korean peninsula like no other. The Musée Guimet is staging a historical event by presenting, for the very first time in Europe, the treasures of this legendary civilization born in 57 BC. Thanks to exceptional loans from the National Museum of Gyeongju, pieces of goldsmithing of unprecedented delicacy are emerging from their Korean cases. Solar crowns and finely carved ornaments illustrate the fascinating fusion between royal power and spirituality. These rare works testify to the refinement of one of the most brilliant cultures of East Asia. The event will take place from May 20th to August 31st, 2026, offering a privileged encounter with millennial masterpieces. It is a unique opportunity to admire the legacy of an empire that marked history through its technical mastery and transcendent aesthetics.
