The Tumulus is, in large scale, an immolated burial tomb which was first identified in Korea. The pavilion was designed to enable visitors to enter the Tumulus which was constructed full scale. It also enables them to view the structure and construction methods of the tombs, the burial state of actors and their servants, and the kind and character of the tombs’ funerary objects.

The pavilion was created to enable the general public to experience and understand the life and culture of Daegaya people more easily and vividly. Furthermore, this was built to function as a place for academic research and for an alive education by re-illuminating Daegaya’s history. This also aims to construct a cultural tourist resort by combining cultural relics, including the Jisan-dong Mounded Tomb Group.

The pavilion imitates the mound of the Jisan-dong Tumulus No. 44. Its outside is round and its inside reproduces the tombs’ rooms found in the excavation work. This reconstructed the inside structure of the Jisan-dong Tumulus No. 44 where the thirty-two stone compartments protect coffin.

They are arranged in a radial pattern, centered around the main outer coffin (where actors are buried) and the two subordinate outer coffins for funerary objects (which function as a storehouse belonging to the main outer coffin). The relics and skeletons are duplicated and put in the grave pit of every tomb, grounding on the excavation report.

On the wall body of the viewing aisle, signal objects are exhibited to enhance the understanding of the history and culture of Daegaya. Visitors can also view the objects relating to Daegaya here. These signal objects make notes on the characteristics and list of such relics of Daegaya as the immolated burial pattern of the Jisan-dong Tumulus No. 44, pottery, harnesses, weapons, armours, helmets, coffins, and earrings.

These objects also describe the historical development and foreign relations of Daegaya. They provide tourists with a better understanding of the history of Daegaya and the character and historical meanings of the Jisan-dong Tumulus No. 44.

The pavilion enables visitors to identify the sophisticated culture of Daegaya, preparing an exhibition corner to view around 130 relics excavated in the Jisan-dong Mounded Tomb Group and the relics found in other mounded tombs, such as pottery, helmet, harness, coffin and personal ornament.

Visitors can get detailed information related to the history and immolate burial of Daegaya as well as the structure and relics of the Jisan-dong Tumulus No. 44 through the computer installed at the pavilion entrance. In short, the pavilion is a synthetic exhibition center with a new concept which enables spectators to view, feel and experience the history, culture and immolated burial custom of Daegaya.
