Artefacts from Central Asia, which were predominantly collected by the Kings of the Silla Dynasty (57 BC- AD 935), have been found in Silla tombs. However, the majority of Korea’s Collections consists of items found by Otani Kozui’s three expeditions to Central Asia from 1902 to 1914 (see Japanese Collections<\/a>). The Otani Collections are held by Ryukoku University, the Tokyo National Museum, the Kyoto National Museum, the L\u00fcshun Museum, the National Museum of China, the National Library of China, and the National Museum of Korea<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHistory of the Korean Collections<\/h2>\n\n\n
