Finding Ideas of the Ancients

The Mu graves are famous for their material, which is sandbank stone. The remains of the Tombs are located in the North/Western town, Mu Tac San, in China. These tombs include two graves that were made in the Han era. At the temples site, many remains were found of sandbank stone and are now part of what we call, 'The Mu Stone Carvings Group. These carvings are nationally protected, and considered important historical artifacts in China.
For the spring exhibit, YUM has prepared not only a replica of one of the original Tombs, but has also included photographs of authentic rubbings of the graves. Kim Yong-sung stated that, "The theme of the exhibition is: 'Utopia: Which was carved in stone,' and is expected to be a big help for students who major in Archeology or Visual arts."
The event, which consists of both ancient and modern ideas, is expected to have a big effect both in and outside of the Yeungnam University campus.
