Jeongok Prehistory Museum in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, presents its 15th-anniversary exhibition 'Earth Beneath Earth, Jeongok' through Sunday, November 1, 2026. Opened on May 2, it takes place in the B1 special exhibition gallery and admission is free. Its focus is the archaeological site around Jeongok-ri 85-12 and the stone tools discovered there. Rather than treating prehistoric objects as isolated finds, the exhibition shows why the soil layers and excavation context matter.
Four sections guide visitors through this story. Part One, 'Memory of the Earth', follows the sequence of ground layers to explore earlier periods. Part Two, 'Deep Earth, Ancient Stones', looks at stone tools from deeper layers and how the assemblage changes closer to the surface. Part Three, 'People Who Record the Earth', presents excavation journals, tools and documents. The lesson is that recording where an object was found is as significant as recovering the object itself.
Part Four, 'Enter the Earth', invites visitors to explore soil colours, build layers and handle a large stone-tool model, with a large Playmobil photo spot. For a family visit, moving between the excavation records and hands-on displays may help connect the activities to the underlying research. The museum address is 2 Pyeonghwa-ro 443beon-gil, Jeongok-eup, Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi Province.
