Agricultural Museum

Korea’s agricultural heart beats within the walls of the Agricultural Museum in Seoul. This isn’t just a museum. It’s a living story of Korea’s relationship with the land. The Agricultural Museum was established in November 1987. It stands on land once owned by Kim Jong-suh, a Deputy Prime Minister during the Joseon Dynasty. He rented out horses for travelers. Imagine the hustle and bustle of those days, the clatter of hooves on the very ground where we stand now. Inside the Agricultural Museum, you’ll find over 2,400 artifacts. These artifacts whisper tales of farmers’ ingenuity. The museum also boasts a collection of 5,000 agricultural and farming artifacts. Around 2,000 of these are currently on display. This vast collection brings the story of Korean agriculture to life. From ancient plows to modern machinery, you’ll witness the evolution of farming practices. Don’t miss the permanent exhibition hall, showcasing the history, daily life, and cooperative nature of agriculture in Korea. And for a truly immersive experience, step outside into the rice paddy fields. Here, you can connect with the land just as generations of Korean farmers have done. The Agricultural Museum isn’t just a collection of artifacts. It is a testament to the hard work, innovation, and deep connection between the Korean people and their land. It’s a journey through time. A celebration of the past and a glimpse into the future of agriculture in Korea.
