Why go
Museum of Old Roads (Yetgil Bakmulgwan) is a public institutional museum in Mungyeong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, dedicated to the cultural-historical heritage of Korean traditional roads — particularly the Mungyeong Saejae Pass area's distinctive heritage as one of Korea's most significant pre-modern travel corridors. The museum walks visitors through the history of Korean traditional roads, the cultural-and-economic role of roads in pre-modern Korean society, the technical-and-engineering aspects of pre-modern road infrastructure, and the broader cultural significance of Korean travel-and-transport heritage. Period documents, archival materials, scale-model road displays, and interpretive panels anchor the museum. Best paired with the Mungyeong Saejae historic pass walk.
