The Wanggung-ri Ruins located in Wanggung-myeon, Iksan-si, Jeonbukteukbyeoljachi-do were established during the reign of Baekje's 30th king, King Mu (600–641), and later transformed into a temple. It is understood as Wanggung, a political, economic, and cultural center during the late Baekje period's Iksan administration, regarded as a secondary capital alongside Sabi (Buyeo). The Baekje royal palace was built on a low hill at the end of a ridge originating from Yonghwa Mountain. Comprehensive excavations since 1989 revealed that the site was constructed as a late Baekje palace, used for a certain period, after which important palace buildings were dismantled and a complex site including a temple with a pagoda, Golden Hall, and lecture hall was established.

국립익산박물관 1

익산 미륵사지에 대한 발굴조사는 국립문화재연구소에 의해 1980년부터 1996년까지 장기간에 걸쳐 이루어졌다. 그 과정에서 백제 당시의 사찰 규모와 가람배치를 확인하고, 창건기부터 조선시대에 이르는 19,000여 점의 문화재를 수습했다. 그 후 미륵사지에서 출토된 문화유산을 효율적으로 보존하고 전시하고 교육 자료로 활용하기 위해 1997년 전라북도가 주체가 되어 미륵사지유물전시관을 개관하였다. 한편, 2009년 1월에는 미륵사지 석탑(국보) 해체 보수 작업 과정에서 다량의 사리장엄구가 출토되었고, 2015년 7월에 미륵사지와 왕궁리 유적이 유네스코 세계문화유산에 등재되었다. 이에 미륵사지를 비롯하여 익산 지역에서 출토되는 문화유산의 체계적인 관리와 활용의 필요성이 커졌고, 2015년 12월 말에는 기존 도립 전시관이 국립으로 전환되었다. 미륵사지 남서쪽에 자리한 국립익산박물관은 역사 유적 안에 위치한 현장 박물관으로서 다양한 전시 및 교육 프로그램을 마련하고 있다. 또 지속적인 전시 개선 사업을 실시하여 관람객들이 쾌적하게 관람할 수 있도록 노력하고 있으며, 소장품의 공개와 정보 공유를 바탕으로 관람객들의 편익에 부응하고자 노력하고 있다. 출처 : 국립익산박물관

The founding of Mireuksa, the largest Buddhist temple complex of Baekje, is recorded in the Samguk Yusa. Ma Dong, who became King Mu (the 30th king of Baekje, 600–641) after marrying Princess Seonhwa of Silla, was on his way with her to visit the priest Jibyeom of Sajasa at Yonghwasan (present-day Mireuksan). Suddenly, the Three Bodhisattvas of Maitreya appeared from the pond, which led to the founding of Mireuksa. It is said that the shrine (Geumdang), pagoda, and Nangmu (Hwarang) were constructed for the Three Bodhisattvas. Another view suggests that in addition to the faith of King Mu and Princess Seonhwa, the founding of Mireuksa had political purposes, speculated to have been established in Geumma, a center of Mahan power, to expand Baekje’s national strength. The establishment of Mireuksa, Baekje’s largest temple complex, likely demonstrated the highest level of architectural and craft culture at the time. As recorded in Samguk Yusa, King Jinpyeong of Silla sent Baekgong to help, indicating that skills from the Three Kingdoms were combined. Mireuksa was clearly the focal point of Maitreya faith in Baekje Buddhism, contrasting with Hwangnyongsa of Silla, which centered on Huayan Thought and had one pagoda and three shrines. Mireuksa’s layout featured three pagodas and three shrines, embodying Maitreya Thought, while Hwangnyongsa embodied Huayan Thought centered on the king. Mireuksa’s Maitreya faith aimed to lead even common people to the Lotus World. * Additional relics at Mireuksaji: Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda and Dangganjiju * Mireuksaji contains two notable relics: the Stone Pagoda and the Dangganjiju (flagpole supports). The Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda, a National Treasure, is currently 14.24 meters tall, making it Korea’s tallest and largest stone pagoda. Although almost entirely collapsed, six tiers remain on the northeast corner, but it is estimated originally to have had nine tiers. Research by Wonkwang University’s Mahan Baekje Culture Research Institute in 1974–1975 revealed the eastern pagoda was stone, not wooden, confirming the so-called east-west twin pagoda layout. Excavations later verified nine tiers of the eastern pagoda, which was restored to nine tiers (27.67 m) in 1993. This pagoda is regarded as Korea’s finest because its style meticulously reproduces the wooden pagoda design in stone. Dangganjiju are the pillars built on either side of the flagpole to support it. The Mireuksaji Dangganjiju, designated a Treasure, stands 395 cm tall and is estimated to date before the mid-Unified Silla period. Two pillars stand about 90 meters apart facing each other east-west, south of the stone pagoda.
