Seven burial mounds from Sabi-era Baekje
At Buyeo Royal Tombs on Wangneung-ro, visitors encounter a burial area believed to have served Baekje royalty during the Sabi period (538–660). Seven mounds stand in the central group, and Tomb No. 1 is known for its painted Four Guardian figures. The famous Baekje Gilt-bronze Incense Burner was discovered at the nearby Neungsan-ri temple site—not inside a royal tomb. Take time to walk the grounds and read the story of the landscape.
A different space inside the heritage site
An exhibition facility within the site is called Buyeo Royal Tombs Art Museum, or the Neungsan-ri Burial Mounds ICT Art Museum. Its name should not be taken to mean that it follows the outdoor site's schedule. Buyeo County's tourism page lists the museum as open Friday through Tuesday, 10:00–15:00, with a lunch break from 12:00–13:00 and closures on Wednesday and Thursday.
However, the Buyeo National Museum's Baekje Culture Platform lists the same museum as open 09:00–17:00 in November–February, with no regular closure. These official sources conflict. For a museum visit, call 041-830-2890 before departure rather than relying on either timetable alone.
Plan the outdoor visit separately
The county's stated general hours for the royal tomb grounds are 09:00–17:00 in November–February and 09:00–18:00 in March–October. These are not necessarily the ICT museum's hours. A county fee table dated July 2026 lists individual admission to the Royal Tombs as KRW 1,000 for adults, KRW 600 for teenagers and KRW 400 for children; it does not establish the separate price of ICT museum activities.
For navigation, search for '부여왕릉원', at 61 Wangneung-ro, Buyeo-eup, Buyeo-gun. A slow heritage walk can be planned around the outdoor grounds. If the museum is important to your trip, verify its opening days, any separate fees and same-day closures first.
