Why go

Yanggu Porcelain Museum is the dedicated public museum on Joseon-era Yanggu white porcelain — the Yanggu kilns produced the white porcelain used at the Joseon royal court (the famous "baekja") for over 500 years until the dynasty's end, making Yanggu the longest-active royal-quality kiln site in Joseon history. The museum displays original Yanggu-produced white porcelain pieces, kiln-site archaeological material, reconstruction kilns showing the firing process, and bilingual interpretation contextualizing Yanggu within the broader Korean ceramic tradition. Hands-on porcelain-making workshops are available with reservation. Free entry. About 90 minutes. Pair with the Yanggu Prehistory Museum.
