Opened in March 2017, the Gyeongju World Automobile Museum stands as a comprehensive cultural destination dedicated to the global history of the automobile. True to its name, the museum presents a captivating narrative of vehicular evolution and its profound influence on human industrial and social culture through a series of diverse permanent and special exhibitions.
The museum's collection is thoughtfully organized across three main exhibition halls.
