The Outdoor Exhibition of the Buyeo National Museum is composed of a rich collection of historical artifacts retrieved from Buyeo and the surrounding area. Among them it is worth mentioning the following:Capstone - Seongjusa Temple Site in Seongju-myeon, Boryeong, Unified Silla   The capstone of a stele is referred to as isu, with 'i' meaning dragon and 'su' meaning head. This style of capstones established during Tang China influenced Korea to build tripartite memorial stones composed of the tortoise-shaped pedestal, body, and capstone directly after the unification of Silla. Unlike Korean examples in which the body and cap were separate pieces, the cap and body of Chinese stele comprise a single whole. The capstone discovered in the Seongjusa Temple Site, one of the nine major Zen-Buddhist Orders (Gusanseonmun), features engravings of hornless dragons encircling each other. Another distinguishing feature is a circular slab with the title inscription. A stele memorializing the monk Muyeom, who passed away in 888, remains in the Seongjusa Temple Site. The composition of its capstone and the round form of inscription tablet suggest that it is the work of a Buddhist master who entered the Seongjusa Temple during the Goryeo period.Pedestal - Seongjusa Temple Site in Seongju-myeon, Boryeong - Unified Silla Steles influenced by Tang China (Tang dynasty) feature pedestals in the shape of a tortoise known as 'guibu', literally meaning tortoise pedestal. Earlier examples, such as the pedestal for the stele for King Taejong Muyeol in Gyeongju, feature the head of a tortoise, but from the mid-ninth century they feature a dragon's head. The tortoise-shaped pedestal is believed to have been a single piece with the capstone found in the Seongjusa Temple Site in Boryeong. It has lost parts of its head and body, but the shape of the legs and the back are rather lifelike.Five-story Stone Pagoda of Dongsa-ri   The stone pagoda originally stood in Dongsa-ri of Sedo-myeon, Buyeo-gu, but was relocated to Buyeo-eup in 1971. It was once again relocated to its current location in the Buyeo National Museum in 1993. This five-story pagoda stands on a two storied base, which is decorated with three elephant eye designs carved on all four sides. The upper tier of the base is topped with a pedestal decorated with a lotus design, with floral ornaments protruding from the corners. The pagoda's design is a typical style of the early Goryeo period.Stone Standing Buddha   This stone statue of a standing Buddha was discovered in 1933 near a temple site known as Cheonwangsa Temple in Geumseongsan Mountain in Buyeo-eup, Buyeo-gun. This statue resembles a column with a large head, narrow shoulders and plump face and body, with few distinctive features. Such pillar-like Buddha statues were prevalent in the early Goryeo Dynasty in what is now Chungcheong-do and Jeolla-do provinces.Monument for Liu Renyuan of Tang China - BuyeoThis stone monument to the Tang General Liu Renyuan was originally situated at Busosan Mountain, but is now located at the Buyeo National Museum. The inscription on the monument contains a record of the achievements of the Chinese General Liu Renyuan. Unfortunately, the record of his life after the collapse of Baekje and the subsequent Baekje Restoration Movement was erased. Although the monument was built to praise the Tang General Liu Renyuan, it is regarded as a historically significant relic as its inscription contains important historic information about the tragedy of Baekje's last king, Uija, who was taken as a hostage to Tang China together with his crown prince and some 700 courtiers. The inscription also contains details about the rise and fall of the Baekje Restoration Movement, and the destruction of Baekje's capital after the collapse of the kingdom.Stele for the Construction of Bogwangsa Temple at Bongwangsa Temple Site - Buyeo   This stone stele was erected to honor the life and achievements of State Preceptor Wonmyeong, who raised the status of Bogwangsa Temple to that of a major dharma center of Goryeo. The relic, which lacks its headstone and pedestal, was moved from its original location at the Bogwangsa Temple site to the Buyeo National Museum in 1963. The monument contains two inscriptions, one that was engraved on its front face in 1358, when it was originally built, and another that was engraved on its rear face in 1750, during the reign of King Yeongjo of the Joseon period. According to the inscription, State Preceptor Wonmyeong passed the state examination and became a Buddhist priest at the age of nineteen, and remained at Seonwonsa Temple until his death in 1351. Although Wonmyeong did not want his pupils to build a stele or pagoda honoring his life and achievements, he could not stop them from building this stele six years after his death. Also called Bogwangsa Jungchangbi, literally 'monument commemorating the renovation of Bogwangsa Temple,' this monument exhibits the simple style of steles of the late Goryeo period, and is a valuable resource for studies on Buddhist art history.Five-story Stone pagoda of Dongnam-riThis stone pagoda was originally a five-story structure built on a two-tiered platform, but the fourth layer and parts of the base are missing. The multi-storied composition and two-tiered base are a typical style of Unified Silla Dynasty pagodas, but the proportions are more characteristic of Goryeo Dynasty pagodas, considering the height of each story greater than its width.
