A visit to the Gyeongju National Museum

Do you know that Gyeongju is the capital city of Silla Kingdom? Over in this museum, there are exhibition divided into 4 parts for you to view the cultural history of Gyeongju district.
Initally, I though that these kidney beans looking pendants are just for protecting oneself from the evil spirit, but these are actually for fertility. According to the tour guide, the more the merrier ! So if you want kids, do check this out!


Though this is not the first time rock part. I initially thought it is these drawing are drawn by ancient people for fun or a way to showcase their art . However, our tour guide told us that this is actually a textbook teaching people things such as survival skills in the wild.
