In particular, not only the ‘Research Specimen’ will be the exhibition contents, but it will also serve as material references which differentiate itself from the other existing displays. Also the official logo of the ‘Traditional Materials’ designed withvarious kinds of material references will be launched to better promote thetraditional materials research field to the general public. The main themes of the exhibition are as follows: ▲ Dancheong pigments: the Colors of Tradition and Nature; ▲ Lime: Wonders of the Ancient Architecture; ▲ Hanji: A Thousand Year Old.

The exhibition consists total of 53 pieces introduced into two parts. Part 1 ‘Traditional Materials for Cultural Heritage Restoration’ will display three main materials and demonstrate the production process of the mostsuitable materials for the restoration of cultural heritage. Part 2 ‘The Grand Finale: Traditional Materials Laboratory’ will present the manufacturing process and the material references based on the scientific research.

The NRICH hopes that this online exhibition will provide the general public with a platform to experience the importance of the historical value and the research needs regarding traditional materials for restoration of cultural heritage.
