Hallym University Museum

The Hallym University Museum opened in 1988 as an affiliated institution of Hallym University to collect and organize artifacts and folk items from prehistoric and historical periods, to provide a place for not only university members but also local residents to understand history and culture through preservation and exhibition, and to contribute to the study of our history through investigation and research of cultural heritage.
It has Exhibition Hall 1 (Archaeology and History Hall), Exhibition Hall 2 (Folklore and Crafts Hall), and an outdoor exhibition area. Its collection includes about 1,700 items such as pottery, earthenware, and old books and paintings, as well as about 3,000 state-owned artifacts excavated from archaeological investigations in Gangwon-do and surrounding areas, which it preserves and manages.
Representative exhibits include artifacts from the prehistoric to historical periods excavated at the Sinmae-ri and Cheonjeon-ri sites in Chuncheon, the Daemosanseong Fortress in Yangju, and the Oegyujanggak site in Ganghwa, as well as ancient pottery from Baekje, Silla, and Gaya, celadon from the Goryeo period, and folk items such as myeonggi (ritual vessels) and wardrobes from the Joseon period. The permanent exhibition features artifacts from the Paleolithic to the Joseon period, and one to two special exhibitions are held each year in spring and autumn. During special exhibition periods, a weekly exhibition artifact briefing called 'Conversation with the Curator' is held.
In addition, it runs educational programs such as 'Museum of Imagination' for local youth, family programs, and career education programs, as well as citizen museum university courses for local residents and cultural events by the Cultural Contents Makers.
