Special Exhibit

The special exhibition Calendar, Trace of Time was jointly organized by the National Folklore Museum of Korea, the Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation and the Museum of Silhak. It was planned to determine the change of the calendar, a daily necessity, through human history. The calendar, a daily necessity, was an astronomical science book containing the best science and culture of the Joseon period. The exhibition drew substantial attention from audiences by collecting important calendars in one place, including Daetongnyeok（Treasure No. 1319） for the Gyeongjin year, which is the oldest calendar, Daetongnyeok（Treasure No. 160） used by Seoae Ryu Seong-ryong（1542∼1607） and Myeongsiryeok during the Korean Empire period, when the solar calendar replaced the lunar calendar.
