Why go

Korea Tea Cup Museum is a public institutional museum in Korea dedicated to dawan — Korean traditional tea-cup ceramic art — including Goryeo and Joseon-era tea bowls, hand-thrown ceramic vessels, and contemporary Korean tea-ware adaptations. The museum walks visitors through the technical-and-craft aspects of Korean tea-cup ceramic art, the cultural-and-aesthetic role of tea cups in Korean tea ceremony, and the broader East Asian tea-ware tradition that links Korean, Chinese, and Japanese tea-cup heritage. Period craft pieces, contemporary works, and educational displays anchor the museum. Best for travelers seriously interested in Korean ceramic art and tea-culture heritage.
