Natural Dyeing Culture Center (한국천연염색박물관)

Korea Natural Dyeing Culture Center in Naju is the dedicated public museum on Korean traditional natural dyeing — particularly the indigo ("jjok") and other plant-based dyes that produced Korea's celebrated traditional textiles before synthetic dyes spread in the 20th century. The center combines a substantial museum on natural-dye history and chemistry, working dye-vat installations where visitors can watch the dyeing process, hands-on dyeing workshops with reservation, and a substantial retail strip selling pieces dyed on site. Naju's specific role as a historic indigo-production center is well documented. Free entry to the museum; ticketed for workshops. About 2 hours including a workshop.
