On Saturday it was a nice sunny and warm day and we decided to go to the national museum of Cheongju (
국립청주박물관). It was on the road to the Sangdangsanseong Fortress but not as far, and we went in a taxi. The museum was split into four parts, the first one is called pre-history. This gallery is about the Korean people about two million years ago to twelve thousand years ago, so mostly was about cavemen stuff. Next there was gallery two which was called Ancient History and this was around twelve thousand years ago to about 700 AC. During about 100 BC to 700 AD in Korea there were three kingdoms: Baekje, Goguryeo and Silla who fought many wars during this time, so there were lots of weapons. The third gallery was called Goryeo Dynasty, The Goryeo Dynasty lasted from 918 AD to 1392 AD. We saw lots of bronze bells and Buddhas. The final gallery was called Joseon Dynasty, The Joseon Dynasty ruled from 1392 AD to 1910 AD and that was the final Dynasty of Korea. There were lots of maps and writing, I liked the fact that it was a sunny day because we have been having a lot of rainy days.
