Why it mattered at publication

A 15th-anniversary exhibition ends on 1 November 2026, making it important to distinguish its dates from regular museum hours.

Layers of earth, layers of time

Jeongok Prehistory Museum in Yeoncheon explores the Palaeolithic through stone tools, excavations and activities. Its 15th-anniversary exhibition, 'The Earth Beneath, Jeongok,' presents finds and stratigraphy from the Jeongok-ri 85-12 archaeological site, alongside archaeological records and hands-on displays.

An exhibition deadline, a continuing museum

The special exhibition runs from 2 May to 1 November 2026, in the B1 special gallery, and that exhibition is free. Do not treat it as current after 1 November. The museum's standard hours are Tuesday–Sunday, 10:00–18:00 (last admission 17:30). It normally closes Mondays except public holidays, and closes on January 1, Lunar New Year and Chuseok day.

Address: 경기도 연천군 전곡읍 평화로443번길 2; telephone: 031-830-5600. Confirm fees and booking separately for other exhibitions or activities.

What we're seeing

Looking at how archaeologists excavate can be as illuminating as the stone tools themselves. Short-term exhibition dates are distinct from regular museum access.

What we still don't know

Exhibitions after 1 November, individual activity bookings and costs, and real-time crowd levels were not verified.
