About
Iksan National Museum is located near Mireuksa Temple Site, one of the largest temples of the Baekje dynasty during the Three Kingdoms Period. A total of roughly 19,000 artifacts were unearthed during archaeological research in 1980-1996, and the museum was opened as Mireuksa Temple Site National Museum in 1997 to display these findings. The Stone Pagoda of Mireuksa Temple Site, a National Treasure, was restored in 2009, and the site was recognized as a World Heritage by the UNESCO in 2015, afterwhich the museum name was changed to the current Iksan National Museum. The museum also offers various cultural events and programs, including on-site education, historical and cultural lectures, and summer culture school.
