FRENCH VERSION

The kingdom of Silla embodies the power of a premodern Korea, where power, spirituality and art intertwine. The works presented reveal exceptional know-how, nourished by exchanges with China, Japan and beyond. The use of gold is dedicated to royal tombs, and then Buddhism inspires a sacred aesthetic, transposing the precious materials from the tombs to the monasteries.

Exhibition at the Musée Guimet, Paris, from May 20 to August 31, 2026.
