Gongju National Museum

My next post about great time that I spent with guys from Korea Brand Expedition

Gongju National Museum was established in 1934 as the Gongju Historic spot Preservation Society.

It is located closely to Tomb of King Muryeong.

Our group has a task to visit the museum. For me it was the first experience in attending excursion WITHOUT English translation!!! Oh, it was hard, but thanks to Mrs. Hye-Yeong Lee, I understood practically everything !!

By the way, you can watch an interview with Mrs. Hye-Yeong Lee by KOBRA team~

Well, in the museum you can see lots of artifacts and belongings of the royal family.

King Muryeong

up: Golden Diadem Ornaments, national treasure No.154

 

above: Gilt-bronze shoes 

Golden Earrings, National Treasure No. 156 

Royal gold shoes

Stone Seated Buddha, National Treasure No.979

 The statue of Buddha you can find in Gallery 2, where ancient culture of Chungcheongham-do is exhibited.

This galleries are of great interest for historians, archeologists and those who are interested in Korean ancient history. But is science is not your cup of tea or you visit  the museum with children, I strongly recommend you a special gallery, where you can "try" traditional culture~
*for curious foreigners it's also a must*
