Gimhae National Museum, National museum in Gimhae, South Korea.

Gimhae National Museum stands at the foot of Gujibong, the hill linked to the founding myth of Gaya. Its main building, completed in 1998 to a design by architect Jang Se-yang, is faced in black brick that evokes iron ore and charcoal, a reference to Gaya as the iron kingdom. The Gayanuri education wing, designed by Kong Sun-gu, opened in 2006. Permanent galleries were fully reorganized on 22 January 2024: the first floor holds "The Road to Gaya" and the second "Gaya and the Gaya People".

The museum opened in 1998 to preserve the history of a civilization that existed from the 1st to 6th century in Korea. This period marked important developments in technology and craftsmanship in the region.

The displays show metalworking and pottery techniques that were practiced in this region for centuries, revealing how skilled craftspeople shaped everyday and ceremonial objects. You can observe the care and precision that went into each piece.

The museum stands at 190 Gayaui-gil in Gimhae, at the foot of Gujibong, the hill linked to the founding myth of Gaya. It has two buildings: the main hall with the permanent galleries and the Gayanuri education wing, opened in 2006, which holds a children's museum, a temporary exhibition room and education facilities. An auditorium and seminar rooms are also on site.

A dedicated section serves young visitors with interactive activities focused on learning about this historical period. Children can handle and experiment with reconstructed objects, not just look behind glass.
