Buyeo National Museum.

The Buyeo National Museum serves as the primary custodian of the Sabi era, the peak of the Baekje Kingdom’s artistic and cultural influence. While the collection spans prehistoric tools through the Iron Age, the draw here is the refined, "restrained opulence" of 6th and 7th-century Buddhist art. The museum’s centerpiece is the Gilt-bronze Incense Burner of Baekje, a National Treasure so significant it occupies its own dedicated three-story gallery designed for multisensory immersion. Visitors can experience the artifact alongside custom-composed music and scents meant to replicate the original ritual atmosphere. Beyond the burner, the halls house plump-faced Bodhisattvas bearing the famous "Baekje smile" and intricate geometric bricks. Digital laser shows in the lobby provide modern context to the kingdom’s worldview, making it a vital stop before exploring nearby UNESCO temple sites.
