Why go

Yanggu Prehistory Museum in Yanggu, Gangwon, is the dedicated public museum on the Yanggu-area Paleolithic and Neolithic archaeological sites — the Yanggu region has substantial prehistoric remains thanks to its inland mountain-and-river valley setting that attracted prehistoric Korean peoples. The collection includes about 5,500 stone tools and pottery shards, plus reconstruction dioramas of prehistoric Yanggu life and bilingual interpretation contextualizing the Yanggu material within the broader Korean prehistoric record. The museum is part of a broader Yanggu cultural-tourism initiative that includes the Park Soo Keun Museum and the Yanggu Porcelain Museum. Free entry. About 90 minutes. Pair with Park Soo Keun Museum.
