Korean Natural Dyeing Museum

A permanent museum and education center in Naju focused on natural dyeing, with free admission, exhibitions, a museum shop, workshops and bookable dyeing experiences. Its current 2026 programming shows natural dyeing as an active practice tied to local materials, education and design rather than only a preserved craft.

The museum is actively operating in October 2026 and is also participating in the Naju Yeongsan River Festival with a free indigo-dyeing program for 1,000 participants, split between 700 on-site places and 300 online reservations. That makes the museum a useful anchor for understanding how Naju presents indigo as current regional design and education.

The museum offers free entry and runs individual and group dyeing sessions by reservation; current October records include indigo-dyeing sessions. Program times, materials and fees vary by session.
