Cheongju Early Printing Museum, Printing museum in Cheongju, South Korea
The Cheongju Early Printing Museum features a collection of metal types, woodblock prints, tools, and documents showcasing Korean printing methods across centuries.
Founded in 1992, the museum stands near the Heungdeoksa Temple site where the Jikji, the world's oldest metal-printed book, was published in 1377.
The museum preserves Korean printing heritage through exhibitions of traditional movable metal type technology and educational programs about ancient printing techniques.
The museum offers guided tours, workshops on traditional metal type printing, and maintains a gift shop with printing-related educational materials.
In 2011, the museum initiated the Koryo Metal Type Restoration Project to recreate thousands of letter stamps from the Goryeo period.
