Hello from Gimhae Tourism! :)
It's been really hot lately, hasn't it?
If you're tired of outdoor activities under the blazing sun,
how about a cultural outing in the cool indoors?
We'd like to introduce four Gimhae museums that are conveniently located close to each other,
making them easy to visit in one go, and offer a diverse range of culture and history!
📍 National Gimhae Museum 📍 Daeseong-dong Tomb Museum
📍 Gimhae Folk Museum 📍 Gimhae Hangeul Museum
All four are located within a 5-minute drive of each other.
They're close enough to walk, so you can enjoy a museum tour without the burden of long travel times.
Although the museums are nearby, each has its own unique exhibition themes and atmosphere!
You can experience different charms as you visit them one by one.
Now, let's take a look at what exhibitions await you at each museum!
📍

through artifacts and materials excavated from the Daeseong-dong Tomb Complex,
a tomb site of the highest ruling class of Geumgwan Gaya, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

✔️In the permanent exhibition hall, you can see at a glance the models of the Daeseong-dong Tomb Complex and the structure and changes of the tombs,
focusing on artifacts such as pottery, jewelry, and armor directly excavated from the museum.
✔️In the outdoor museum, Tomb No. 29, the first royal tomb in the Daeseong-dong Tomb Complex, and Tomb No. 39, which was installed while destroying it,
are restored and displayed in the state they were excavated, so you can directly see and feel the actual structure and size of the tomb.
The Daeseong-dong Tomb Museum is located right next to the Daeseong-dong Tomb Complex,
After looking at the various artifacts in the museum,
it is a great attraction to be able to directly experience the history and traces of Gaya by looking around the actual tomb complex.
