   The Iron Museum exhibits a variety of sights on the theme of iron. Set in a stylish, cozy building in a sparsely populated countryside area, the museum offers a surprisingly rich and enjoyable time. It consists of indoor and outdoor exhibition areas, filled with special items showing the history and culture of iron. Iron, closely tied to daily life yet often felt as heavy and cold, can be approached here in a friendly and fun way. Indoors, exhibits are organized around themes such as the birth of iron, the production of iron, iron in daily life, the history of iron, and the art of iron. Outdoors, visitors can look at ironworking relics and steel-making processes. There are also various hands-on programs for children.MoreLess

   음성동요마을

   Centered on Eumseong Children's Song School in Saenggeuk-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk, the whole village area has transformed into Eumseong Children's Song Village. Saenggeuk-myeon, Eumseong-gun, is the birthplace of a well-known traditional Korean children's song. Eumseong Children's Song School was established in 2005 on the former site of the Osaeng branch of Saenggeuk Elementary School. The school was created with the aim of reviving traditional culture in a modern society where our own children's songs and folk games are being neglected amid a flood of pop music and foreign culture.\nMoreLess
