Jeongok Prehistory Museum, Prehistoric museum in Yeoncheon-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
The Jeongok Prehistory Museum exhibits natural history artifacts from the Chugaryeong rift valley, including stone tools, fossils, and evolutionary displays.
The museum stands on the site where researchers discovered the first Acheulean hand ax in East Asia, marking a significant milestone in paleolithic studies.
Through exhibits of primitive huts, stone tools, and prehistoric artifacts, the museum illustrates the early human settlements in the Korean peninsula.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The museum building, designed by French architects, received the Korean Architecture Award in 2012 for its interpretation of primitive curves.
