Museum of Buddhist Underground Palaces
Underground Palaces were specially built to store sacred objects such as relic and sutras. The Center has designed 48 underground palaces to preserve a wide variety of artifacts. A palace will be opened every 100 years, so that future generations may appreciate the objects left from our time. BMC welcomes donation of contemporary, historical, and representative artifacts that are indicative of this present era.
