The 'Medieval Gangwon' permanent gallery on the second floor of Chuncheon National Museum examines the Later Three Kingdoms and Goryeo periods in the region. The museum notes that Gung Ye and Yang Gil were active in Gangwon in the Later Three Kingdoms era. Under Goryeo, transport along the Namhan River linked the region to the capital and supported travel and trading routes, along which lodging facilities developed. The museum also highlights Beopcheonsa Temple in Wonju and State Preceptor Jigwang as part of the region's Buddhist heritage. Rather than studying dates alone, consider how waterways, roads and temples connected different communities. Actual displays and gallery access can change.
