Check out Beomeosa Seongbo Museum, a hidden gem in Geumjeong-gu, Busan
Seongbo Museum is a place that displays treasures and artefacts related to Buddha and Buddhism. The Beomeosa Seongbo Museum is a great place to learn more about Buddhism, with a range of valuable Buddhist artifacts, like Buddha statues and paintings, all in one place.

When you go into the permanent exhibition hall on the first floor, you can see the history of Beomeosa Temple and the traces of its past chief monks on both walls. The entrance is also home to the Sacred Bell of Great King Seongdeok, which serves as a meaningful starting point for visitors to the museum, giving them a glimpse into the long history of the temple.

The paintings in the exhibition are all in great condition, making them easy for visitors unfamiliar with Buddhism to appreciate. The basic teachings and historical records of Buddhism are well organized, too. If you want a deeper understanding of the exhibition, it's a good idea to pick up a pamphlet at the information desk at the entrance, and read it carefully before exploring.

The museum is free to visit, which makes it even more accessible. It's open until 5 p.m., but it's best to get there before 4 p.m., so you can take your time and enjoy everything. Just remember that you can't take photos in the museum without permission.

When you need a break, why not visit the Beomeosa Seongbo Museum to learn about the history and culture of the area?
