Why go

Geoje Insect Ecology Museum is a private natural-history museum on Geoje Island in Gyeongsangnam-do, focused on insects and their ecological roles. The museum combines indoor live-display rooms (beetles, butterflies, mantises, stick insects, scorpions, and small amphibians) with outdoor habitat restorations and a heated butterfly greenhouse that runs year-round. Glass cabinets hold pinned-specimen collections from Korea and abroad, with annotated panels on classification, life cycles, and ecological function. Hands-on stations include beetle-handling slots, microscope corners, and seasonal terrarium-building workshops scaled to school-age visitors. Pairs naturally with broader Geoje Island day-trip itineraries — Windy Hill, Oedo Botania, the Geoje POW Camp Memorial Park — particularly for families with school-age kids who want a 60-minute educational stop on a wider Geoje circuit.
