The facts
"Jeju Folklore & Natural History Museum", located on Jeju Island, is the only folklore and natural history museum in Korea. The "Jeju Folklore and Natural History Museum" investigates, researches and exhibits folklore remains and natural historical materials collected across from Jeju.
The museum is divided into 4 exhibition halls: the Natural History Hall, the Folklore Exhibition Hall I, the Folklore Exhibition Hall II, and the Outdoor Exhibition.
The Natural History Exhibition Hall displays mainly natural historical items such as marine life, soil and rocks, and fauna and flora of Jeju in a three-dimensional way. It gives visitors a better understanding of Jeju’s unique nature and culture. It is divided into an Ecology Hall of Marine Life, a Soil and Rock Exhibition Hall, and a Land Ecosystem Hall.
In Folklore Exhibition Hall I, you will see a transformation in the lifestyle of Jeju-do Island as well as Jeju people, when you look at 2,381 displayed items. It also plays a very important role to visitors in helping them to understand the ancient lifestyle on Jeju Island by recapturing Jeju’s traditional housing architecture, rites of passage, and regional food specialties.
The Folklore Exhibition Hall II exhibits diving gear used by Haenye (women divers) and farming tools used by farmers in Jeju-do. In addition, 100 items including traditional tools for daily living, ritual materials, and diverse stone structures made by volcanic rock of Jeju-do are showcased in this outdoor exhibition.
It will be a useful photo guide book for visitors or those who are interested in Jeju cultural assets by classifying systematically the various collections and displayed materials.
