A musical side of Gaya
Goryeong is known for ancient Daegaya tombs, but music offers another route into its history. Ureuk Museum introduces the legendary musician Ureuk and the gayageum, a Korean plucked string instrument.
What do the displays sound like?
The official tourism guide describes reconstructed figures of musicians seen on ancient artifacts, a recreation of an early string instrument and a range of traditional instruments. Compare their shapes with a modern gayageum. Hands-on sessions or live demonstrations should not be assumed to be offered every day.
