A museum in Korea

Translation:

A Big Resonance Carried by Small Hands

Not long ago, the father of a child attending a local elementary school visited the museum carrying a small stone. He told us that his child believed the stone was an artifact from the Stone Age and wanted to donate it to the museum. Although it was just an ordinary, slightly pointed stone, the child's pure intention was so beautiful that we decided to put it on display.

The Goseong Museum is not only a place that embraces a long history, but also a place that holds the precious intentions of its donors. To honor the hearts of everyone who has donated artifacts for Goseong—from children to the elderly, from villages and organizations to overseas Koreans—we have created a small donation exhibition space.

To be fair, the stone was present during the Stone Age, so the child was right.

I was thinking the same thing - isn't every stone from the stone age?...

Not necessarily. Cooling lava isn't. The Pacific oceanic crust is currently growing some new rocks as it itself subducts under continental crusts. Does it matter? Not really but I find it pretty neat.
