Gyeongju Daereungwon Media Art: A Luminous Spectacle Illuminating Silla's Night

The Gyeongju Daereungwon Media Art is a special nocturnal event that illuminates the nights of Silla, establishing itself as a prominent autumn night attraction in Gyeongju each year. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful history and culture of Silla, both day and night, through modern media art, drawing numerous people to the site.

This media art features media facades projected onto four ancient tombs: Michuwangneung, Hwangnamdaechong, Cheonmachong, and Tomb No. 90. Under the theme of 'Daereungwon, Eternity,' it visually narrates the history of the Silla dynasty from its foundation to its millennium. The forest trails are adorned with beautiful lighting, and various interactive programs such as writing wishes on luminous spheres, making golden crowns, and UV glow-in-the-dark excavation experiences are also available. Notably, Cheonmachong offers free admission during the media art event period.

Bloggers commend the Daereungwon Media Art for its robust storytelling, effectively conveying the history of the Silla dynasty in an easily understandable video format within a short duration. The videos play for about 3 to 5 minutes, followed by a brief preparation period before repeating, allowing visitors to leisurely stroll and enjoy the display. It is advised to check the viewing map in advance and arrive early to participate in the experiential programs, as late arrivals might find viewing time limited.
