Why go
Jeonju Hanji Museum is a public institutional museum in Jeonju dedicated to Jeonju hanji — the Jeonju area's distinctive tradition of handmade mulberry-bark paper that has been one of Korea's most highly regarded paper-making traditions for centuries. The museum walks visitors through the history of Jeonju hanji from the Goryeo period onward, the technical-and-craft aspects of hanji production, the cultural-and-artistic role of hanji in Korean visual tradition (calligraphy, painting, traditional book-making, decorative craft), and contemporary hanji-craft adaptations. The collection includes historic hanji works, traditional craft pieces, period production tools, and contemporary hanji art. Best paired with the Jeonju Traditional Hanji Center for a fuller hanji-tradition experience, and broader Jeonju Hanok Village circuit for context.
