The Museum B/Pusan

So one of the final attractions that I visited in the City was the historical museum. Korea has a very long history of well over 5000 years. There were many interesting artifacts collected through out many periods of history.

Around 500A.D. many early Koreans (or at least inhabitants of this region) practiced some very unconventional beauty procedures. Starting from when people were born they would have there skull compressed at the front because they wanted a flat large forehead in that culture this was considered to be the standard of beauty. There were some skulls on display of this flat forehead feature that were really strange to look now but were the norm during that period.

Also Korea was one of the first cultures in the world to create paper and so a lot of the meuseum was dedicated to the craft of paper making and early scrolls.
