#timetotravel #GorgeousGyeongju Gyeongju in South Korea where Silla dynasty tombs, pavillions and bridges come together beautifully

The Gyeongju National Museum is a museum in Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. Its holdings are largely devoted to relics of the Silla kingdom, of which Gyeongju was the capital. The museum is located immediately adjacent to the royal tomb complex, in an area which also includes the Gyerim forest, Cheomseongdae observatory, Banwolseong palace, and Anapji Pond. The museum was first founded in 1945 as the Gyeongju Branch of National Museum of Korea.[1] The main building of the museum was built in 1968. The museum was upgraded as "Gyeongju National Museum" in 1975 and has been under expansion since then. #valentinescape #resort #spa #beachlife

During the Japanese colonial period, a group called Gyeongju Historic Preservation Association opened a pavilion building in 1913 using the building of the Gyeongju Dynasty Department in Dongbu-dong. Since then, the exhibition hall was changed to Gyeongju Governor of the Chosun Governor-General Museum on June 20, 1926, and was launched as Gyeongju Goverment of the National Museum on October 7, 1945, shortly after independence. #wintergetaway

As the capital was so long ago, the buildings were almost lost, so there are many ruins, but there are few colorful sights to catch the tourists' eyes. It is also one of the most popular sightseeing courses. #wintergetaway
