Daegu National Museum, National museum in Hwanggeum-dong, Suseong District, Daegu, South Korea
Daegu National Museum is a cultural institution in Suseong District dedicated to the history and archaeology of the city and surrounding province. The building features multiple exhibition areas with collections of artifacts, ceramics, and historical objects spanning different time periods.
The museum was established in May 1994 as an institution of the National Museum of Korea and opened its doors on 7 December 1994. The Ancient Culture, Medieval Culture and Textiles and Clothing halls opened to the public on 19 July 2010. Later reorganisations followed: a digital art zone in 2020, a reworked Medieval Culture Hall in December 2020, and the costume hall and children's museum in December 2023.
The museum displays everyday objects and artworks that show how people in this region lived and worked across different periods. The exhibitions help visitors understand the local traditions and social structures of past communities.
The museum is in Hwanggeum-dong, Suseong District, not near Beomeo Station; reach it from Mancheon Station (Metro Line 2, Exit 3) by transferring to a city bus (routes 3, 3-1, 234, 349, 449, 524, Suseong 1, 1-1, 3, 3-1). Parking is free, with 184 spaces (16 for large vehicles, 168 for cars, including 7 disabled and 8 hybrid spaces), but spaces can run short, so public transport is advised.
The outdoor grounds display a reconstructed five-storey stone pagoda from the Jeongdosa temple site, Treasure No. 357, along with a dolmen, a stone cist tomb and a pottery kiln. These open-air exhibits stand beside the museum building in Hwanggeum-dong.
