Its collections are vast: Silla gold crowns (pure gold with exquisite ornaments and curved jade—the pinnacle of Silla gold culture), gold and silver vessels, jade and ornaments; the famous Emille Bell (Silla bronze bell, grand and finely decorated, with a reportedly resonant tone)—a national treasure; plus Buddhist statues, eave tiles, pottery and Wolji artifacts.
