Gyeongju National Museum

The Gyeongju National Museum houses extensive collections of metal, sculpture, gold, bronze, clay, and ceramic artifacts from the Silla dynasty period.

Founded in 1945 as a branch of the National Museum of Korea, the institution received its current name in 1975 following construction of the main building.

The museum displays numerous royal artifacts, including Silla dynasty crowns and the Emille Bell, representing the sophisticated metalworking techniques of ancient Korea.

Located near major archaeological sites like Wolseong Palace and Wolji Pond, the museum offers daily access with extended hours during peak seasons.

The museum maintains a dedicated warehouse built in the early 2000s to store and preserve thousands of archaeological discoveries from Gyeongju excavations.
