Gyeongju is currently abuzz with diverse media art exhibitions captivating visitors at various locations, including Daereungwon, Cheomseongdae, and Rawon. The nighttime media art, in particular, illuminates Gyeongju's evenings with spectacular displays, offering a unique blend of the ancient city's serene atmosphere and modern technology.
At Daereungwon, the National Heritage Media Art "Daereungwon, Eternity" ran until September 27th, featuring media facades and landscape lighting across four ancient tombs including Michuwangneung, Hwangnamdaechong, and Cheonmachong. The Cheomseongdae media art show is free, runs twice daily for 11 minutes (at 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM), while Rawon Media Art is a paid attraction at 16,000 KRW for adults, offering special family and youth discounts throughout September. Rawon experienced a temporary closure due to a lightning strike affecting its machinery but resumed normal operations the following day.
Bloggers recommended visiting the Daereungwon media art early and saving a map due to its large scale and potentially limited viewing time. For Cheomseongdae, they advised checking the short showtimes and arriving 10-15 minutes early to enjoy the surrounding night scenery. At Rawon, children enjoyed outdoor missions with the Silla 8 Monsters game kit, and the moving masterpiece exhibition received positive feedback.
