When an old song becomes an exhibition
Jeongeup is associated with 'Jeongeupsa,' an old Korean song. Jeongeup City Museum's exhibition 'Jeongeupsa and the Moon' explores the song and the region's cultural memory through objects. The municipality mentions 20 exhibits, including the historical music text Akhak Gwebeom and a moon jar. Visitors can look for how a song is preserved and how the moon acquires meaning across its interpretations.
Animals as symbols
Another exhibition, 'Animals as Symbols — Animal Paintings of Seokji Chae Yong-sin,' is announced alongside it. The city describes 19 works, including Jangsaengdo. Comparing animal postures and surrounding objects across the paintings offers a way to notice symbolic meanings rather than treating each image as a simple depiction of nature.
Know when the exhibitions end
A Jeongeup City notice issued September 9, 2026 schedules both exhibitions from September 8 through December 6, 2026. They should not be described as continuing after that date without a new announcement. The listed visitor hours are 9 a.m.–6 p.m., admission is free, and the museum closes Mondays. The two exhibitions occupy the special exhibition gallery and first permanent gallery respectively.
