The Gyeongju Culture and Tourism Organization (President Kim Nam-il) has launched a special "Gyeongju Art Pass Autumn Art Travel" promotion, encouraging visitors to explore Gyeongju's vibrant museum and gallery scene during the autumn season.

Running through October 13, this limited-time promotion offers a steep discount on the integrated travel pass, making it easier and more affordable for tourists to experience Gyeongju's contemporary cultural spaces. Originally valued at 35,000 KRW for children and youth standards, the pass is available at a remarkable 60% discount for just 13,650 KRW.

Connecting Culture and Heritage into a Single Itinerary

First introduced last year, the Gyeongju Art Pass eliminates the hassle of purchasing individual admission tickets for separate venues. By bundling four of the region's premier cultural and artistic institutions into a single digital ticket, the pass successfully connects various local landmarks into a cohesive travel course.

The integrated pass grants admission to four major cultural facilities:

Solgeo Museum of Art: Located within the scenic Gyeongju Expo Grand Park, it showcases prominent Korean artwork and architecture integrated with nature.
Woo Yang Museum of Art: A renowned contemporary art museum hosting diverse modern exhibitions.
Place C: A rising cultural and exhibition space enriching the local art ecosystem.
Bulguksa Museum: Situated near the historic Bulguksa Temple, offering deep insights into Buddhist art and historical artifacts.
A major perk for purchasers is that admission to Gyeongju Expo Grand Park—home to the Solgeo Museum of Art—is included without any separate entrance fees, allowing visitors to enjoy both indoor gallery exhibitions and leisurely strolls through the expansive outdoor park simultaneously.

Bridging Tradition and Modernity

While Gyeongju is globally celebrated as a thousand-year ancient capital filled with historic ruins, royal tombs, and UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Art Pass is designed to showcase a different facet of the city. By seamlessly blending historic heritage tours with modern art and contemporary exhibitions, the initiative invites travelers to experience the coexistence of tradition and modernity.

President Kim Nam-il noted that the Gyeongju Art Pass transforms the city from a purely history-centric destination into a dynamic culture and art hub where history and modern creativity intersect. He encouraged travelers to discover a fresh, alternative charm of Gyeongju by following its cultural trails during the cool autumn season.

Convenient Purchase and Usage

Acquiring and using the pass is designed for modern convenience. Digital tickets can be purchased across major online platforms, including KakaoTalk, Gmarket, Auction, 11st, and the Gyeongbuk Travel Mall. Once purchased, the electronic ticket is delivered directly via KakaoTalk, ensuring a seamless, paperless entry process at all participating venues.

This autumn initiative serves as an ideal invitation for families, art enthusiasts, and casual travelers looking to enrich their Gyeongju itinerary beyond the traditional historical monuments, diving deep into the region's flourishing contemporary artistic landscape.
