The National Folk Museum Paju, located in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, stands out from typical museums by opening its artifact storage facilities to the public. Opened in July 2021 in Tanhyun-myeon, Paju-si, this museum offers a unique experience by revealing the spaces where artifacts and archival materials are actually stored and managed. It is particularly gaining attention as an indoor destination suitable for family visits with children.
The museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with last admission at 5:30 PM. It is closed on Mondays, January 1st, Lunar New Year's Day, and Chuseok. Admission is free, and parking is also available at no charge. Notably, the 'Twinkle Twinkle Poljjak Kongjjak' Wishcat experience room in the Children's Museum is designed to allow children to experience the process of artifact excavation, preservation, and observation at their own level, and operates on a pre-reservation system.
Bloggers praise the National Folk Museum Paju for offering a novel and educational experience beyond simple exhibitions, allowing visitors to witness the actual artifact storage process. The cool and pleasant indoor environment, especially during summer, and the well-equipped experiential facilities for children contribute to high satisfaction among family visitors. Pre-booking is essential for the Children's Museum, and it is advisable to check parking availability in advance, especially on weekends or during peak visitor times.
