태백고생대자연사 박물관

Taebaek Paleozoic Natural History Museum specializes in Korea's Paleozoic-era geology — a rare angle for a Korean natural history museum, and one Taebaek is uniquely positioned to handle because the surrounding region preserves some of Korea's clearest Paleozoic rock sequences. Exhibits cover trilobites, ammonites, early-vertebrate fossils, geological time-depth visualizations, and the area's coal-mining history (a continuation of the same Paleozoic story). The museum is also a useful indoor backup for Taebaek mountain trips when winter weather closes ridge routes. For travelers serious about geology or mining history, this is one of Korea's stronger specialised museums.
