Begin with the temple grounds
Mireuksa Temple Site in Iksan invites visitors to picture a great Buddhist complex that no longer survives as it once stood. After exploring the grounds, visit the nearby National Iksan Museum to connect the landscape with excavated objects.
The objects tell another story
The museum presents Iksan's Baekje heritage, Mireuksa discoveries and regional history in dedicated galleries. Objects such as reliquary inscriptions and roof ornaments offer clues to the people and buildings that once occupied the site. An old exhibition announcement is not evidence of a current show.
Two sets of visiting arrangements
Published general museum hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 09:00–18:00, last entry at 17:30. The museum closes on Mondays, January 1, Lunar New Year and Chuseok day. The children's museum is listed separately at 10:00–16:50, with day- and session-specific arrangements: check its booking page. Entry to the main museum does not secure a children's session.
Before leaving
Search the Korean name 국립익산박물관. The museum's address is 362 Mireuksaji-ro, Geumma-myeon, Iksan, Jeonbuk. Check programme availability, weather and temporary access changes; no transport time is assumed.
