Heritage that people continue to practice

Jeonju's National Intangible Heritage Center introduces traditions carried through movement and skilled hands: performance, music, ritual, play and crafts. Its permanent galleries across floors 1 and 2 of Yeollinmaru explore the pleasures, aesthetics and knowledge of everyday cultural heritage. Think of traditions not just as historical objects but as skills learned and passed on today.

Digital sessions have their own rules

Kkumnaraeteo, the digital heritage hall on floor 1 of Jeonseungmaru, operates in 30-minute sessions with up to 25 people each. Tuesday–Friday, individuals in parties smaller than five may enter without an advance reservation; groups of five or more must book. Everyone must book on weekends. Sessions run 09:30–12:00 and 13:00–17:30, with a lunch break at 12:00–13:00 and equipment checks at 15:00–15:30. Free entry is not the same as unlimited access at any time.

Permanent galleries

These galleries are free from 09:30 to 17:30 and close Mondays and January 1. Regular interpretation is offered Tuesday–Sunday at 10:00 and 14:00. Groups of 10 or more need advance booking even for permanent gallery visits. Address: 95 Seohak-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju, Jeonbuk State. Call 063-280-1571 for exhibitions or 063-280-1573 for the digital hall. The temporary 'Trajectory' exhibition ended October 18 and should not be treated as active.
