[2025 Bucheon-si Attraction] Travel Guide for Bucheon Pottery Museum (Updated May)

#AustraliaFlightEvent Bucheon City Museum has Onggi-gwan and Integrated Hall. You can visit Onggi-gwan first, but I recommend that you get a ticket for the Integrated Hall in advance at the information desk on the first floor of Onggi-gwan. You can only enter the Integrated Hall with a ticket, but if you get a ticket in advance and move along the Onggi-gwan tour route, you can tour it easily without having to go back. This is a tip for visiting Bucheon City Museum. You can visit Onggi-gwan first and then move to the Integrated Hall. #Domestic travel

#AustraliaFlightEvent #museum #BucheonHotPlace #GermanCeramics #BucheonMuseum On the afternoon of March 11th, I visited the German Ceramics Special Exhibition at BucheonMuseum and fell in love with the splendor of Meissen porcelain!!! I saw with my own eyes the technical excellence of hard porcelain, the first in the world to be developed in 1709!!! In particular, the Rococo-style figurines (porcelain dolls) exhibition corner was overwhelmingly filled with works that were loved as luxury items by the 18th century aristocrats!!!! 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended experience: Meissen pattern design workshop → Draw traditional German floral patterns with a tablet and print them on a mug (20 minutes, 8,000 won) Hidden spot: Reflective lighting wall on the north side of the exhibition hall → A surreal photo zone where porcelain patterns expand infinitely Recommended snack: Stout beer pretzel on the first floor of the museum (7,500 won) → German-style salty pretzel served with mustard sauce 🚨 Notes Workshop materials are provided until 5 p.m. (finished product received 30 minutes later) Single-colored clothing is recommended for taking pictures of the reflective wall (minimize interference with patterns) Pretzels can become hard, so it is recommended to eat them immediately In Meissen's blue-and-white porcelain plates, I found an original design that was free from Chinese influence. I use the German chrysanthemum pattern mug I made at the experience zone every morning at home. It colors my daily life with its unique European elegance. LOL. I bought a miniature kit (15,000 won) at the exit of the exhibition hall and am assembling it. Maybe it's because it's a little difficult. LOL. I can feel the precision of an 18th century craftsman. LOL.

#AustraliaFlightEvent #museum #BucheonTravel #BucheonHotPlace On the afternoon of March 11th, I visited the European Porcelain Exhibition Hall at the Bucheon City Museum and encountered the sophistication of British porcelain!! The 18th century Wedgwood Jasperware collection and Victorian gold-trimmed tableware were dazzling!! I was captivated by the delicacy of the Jasperware with its white relief decoration on a blue-gray background. ㅎㅎ At the 360-degree rotating display stand in the center of the exhibition hall, I was able to observe a set of tableware from every corner!!! 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended experience: British porcelain pattern design → Draw a European floral pattern with a tablet and print it on a mug (15 minutes, 8,000 won) Hidden spot: Reflective mirror installation space in the north corner of the exhibition hall → Photo zone where the porcelain pattern expands infinitely Recommended snack: British scone + Earl Grey tea set on the first floor of the museum (9,500 won) → Homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream provided 🚨 Notes Reservations for the experience can be made on-site from 10:00 a.m. on the day (first-come, first-served basis, 20 people) Single-colored clothing is recommended for taking photos with the reflective mirror (to prevent overlapping patterns) The scone set may be sold out after 4:00 p.m. The 19th-century Staffordshire porcelain was splendidly decorated with rose and vine patterns!! I brought the personalized mug I made at the experience corner home and use it every morning. It seems like European elegance is permeating my daily life. At the exit of the exhibition hall, pick up a British porcelain pattern postcard (3,000 won) I bought it and sent it to a friend and he got a lot of rave reviews!!!

#AustraliaFlightEvent #koreatrip #museum After finishing the workshop, I discovered the "Joseon Meets Sound" corner located on the north side of the exhibition hall. In this space, I was able to play the janggu and gayageum myself. At first, my hands were clumsy and the sound was a mess, but after a simple coaching from the staff, I succeeded in playing the melody of "Arirang"!!!! In particular, the interactive experience where the sounds of traditional instruments were combined when you danced on the vibration-detecting smart floor was refreshing. It was so much fun. 📌 Additional tips for solo travelers Recommended experience: Rhythm matching game → Hit the janggu to the rhythm presented on the tablet (3 rounds free) Hidden item: Key ring shaped like a traditional instrument in the corner of the experience room (7,000 won) → The tuning fork design makes a bell sound when you shake it Recommended snack: Buckwheat pancake + jujube tea set (8,000 won) on the outdoor terrace on the first floor → Effective in calming hand tremors after experiencing the instrument 🚨 Don't miss it Headphones are required for the instrument experience (blocking out surrounding noise) Socks are recommended for the smart floor experience (no shoes) Check the sound level when purchasing a key ring (the actual resonance level Each) By the time I left the experience room, I found out that I could receive the sound source of "Arirang" that I played with a QR code. When I listened to the sound source at home, it didn't sound professional, but my 240bpm janggu rhythm had a unique charm. Now I set this sound source as my alarm sound and start every morning with the pulse of Joseonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ #Bucheon City Museum

Yesterday afternoon, I visited the educational exhibition room at Bucheon City Museum and had a special time feeling the history through artifacts. The exhibition room was centered around hands-on experiences, and the most impressive activities were the Joseon Dynasty printing experience and assembling a Goryeo celadon with a 3D puzzle! Especially, the activity of engraving letters on Hanji with ink made me feel like an old scholar! 📌 Points for Solo Travelers Recommended Experience: 'My Own Ancient Document' Workshop (30 minutes, 3,000 KRW) → Write a diary with a brush on Hanji instead of a pencil Hidden Spot: Digital Timeline Wall in the corner of the exhibition room → Connect artifacts by era with a touchscreen game Snack Recommendation: Museum Cafe's Handmade Songpyeon + Omija Tea Set (6,500 KRW) → Sweet rest after the experience 🚨 Notes Return experience materials by 5 PM Digital timeline game is limited to 10 minutes per person Avoid wearing black clothes during the Hanji experience (possible ink stains) In the 'Hands that Embrace Time' corner, I learned about the process of restoring damaged artifacts through videos and actual tools. The expert's interview left an impression on me with the words, 'Even a single piece of an artifact holds history.' I hung the Hanji diary I made in the workshop in front of my desk at home, and the clumsy brush strokes feel precious! Also, the old school was really well recreated!

#AustraliaFlightEvent #BucheonTravel #Senior As I was leaving the exhibition hall, I received a list of recommended books from the senior, and the title of the book, “The Weight of Life Learned from Stones,” was impressive. At the mini-stone garden on the rooftop of the museum, you can experience holding a small stone similar to the rocks on display on your palm. I felt the unstoppable beauty of nature from the cold temperature and irregular surface of the stone..ㅋㅋㅋ 📌 Special tips for solo travelers Recommended activity: Stone photography workshop every Friday at 3 PM (mirrorless camera rental available, reservation required) Hidden souvenir: Purchase a 3D stone key ring (9,900 won) next to the ticket booth → Set of 5 that matches the works in the exhibition hall Recommended finishing touch: Walk along the natural stone staircase behind the museum → Apply the stone appreciation method to real landscapes 🚨 Useful information Reservations for workshops can be made on the Bucheon City Museum website 3 days before your visit The "Gneiss wave" design among the key ring sets is about to be discontinued Slip-resistant shoes are recommended for the stairs On the day I learned that stones are not just rocks but a window for communication between nature and humans, the indifferent beauty of stones became an opportunity to awaken my daily leisure!!! Next time, I will visit the stone with my family I want to try collecting ㅋㅋㅋ!! #koreatrip #bucheoncitymuseum

#AustraliaFlightEvent #BucheonTravel #koreatrip This afternoon, I visited the Bucheon City Museum’s stone exhibition hall and fell in love with the charm of the stone (壽石), a work of art created by nature!! The exhibition hall is a space that highlights the uniquely shaped stone excavated near Bucheon and the traditional Korean garden stone culture. The granite in the shape of a mountain and the gneiss with hidden wave patterns were the best. It was really amazing!!! I could feel the artistry created by nature’s time as I observed the details of the stone’s color and texture changing depending on the lighting angle!!! 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended activities: Observe the fine crystals on the surface of the stone with the magnifying glass rental service in the center of the exhibition hall (free) Hidden spot: End of the 2nd floor hallway → Digital art projection space in the shape of a stone Recommended snack: Museum lobby cafe quartz crystal-shaped jelly + citron tea set (7,800 won) 🚨 Precautions Do not touch the stone and keep a distance of 30 cm When using a magnifying glass, staff guidance is required Digital art space is limited to 10 minutes In the "Voice of Stone" corner, you can experience the formation process of the stone with 3D sound. The moment you put on the headphones and listen to the sound of geological changes over 100 million years! Wow!! You realized that the stone is not just a rock but a recorder of time. On the last wall of the exhibition hall, an installation work that reconstructed the stone sculptures dismantled by modern artists was displayed, continuing the conversation between the past and the present!! It was so interesting!! #StoneExhibitionHall #BucheonCityMuseum

#AustraliaFlightEvent #BucheonMuseum #BucheonTravel Today, after 3pm, I visited the BucheonMuseum's main exhibition hall and admired Joseon Dynasty ceramics and stone artifacts excavated from the Bucheon area. The exhibition hall was designed to show the history of ceramics by era. In particular, the changes in glaze on artifacts from celadon to buncheong ware caught my eye!! I was able to catch a glimpse of the craftsmen's technical know-how at the time by looking at the inscriptions engraved on the inside of a 15th-century jar through an enlarged video!! 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended activities: Record the characteristics of each era using the ceramic glaze color comparison chart (free distribution at the information desk) Hidden spot: West corner of the exhibition hall → Exhibition space with 3D printed models of ceramic production tools Recommended snack: Yuzu tea + pumpkin pancake set in a handmade ceramic cup at the museum's 1st floor cafe (8,300 won) 🚨 Notes There are dark areas, so it is recommended to move slowly Do not touch the 3D models and only view them visually Additional information provided when installing the exhibition explanation app "Bucheon Ceramics" (ask at the information desk) In the "Listen to the sound of the stone" corner, I listened to the sound art that recreated the sound of the glaze hardening through headphones, which was a fascinating experience discovering the hidden rhythm of the ceramics process. After finishing the exhibition and seeing the experimental works of modern ceramic artists, I was intrigued by the process of old techniques being reborn as modern art!!! It was such an amazing experience!! #koreatrip #stoneexhibitionhall

#AustraliaFlightEvent #SpecialExhibition #koreatrip The last section of the exhibition, "Today's Challengers," introduced the stories of modern entrepreneurs who inherited the DNA of Bucheon Industry. Artworks remodeled from factory machines from the 1970s and industrial parts reborn through 3D printing were displayed side by side, allowing us to feel the technological dialogue between the past and the present. In particular, in the VR experience corner, we virtually explored the factory site in the 1980s and engraved the meaning of labor that transcended the times!!! It was so great!!! 📌 Final tips for solo travelers Recommended activities: Participate in the industrial history quiz event held in the museum lobby (limited edition metal key holder given away by raffle to the correct answer) Hidden spot: East corner of the rooftop garden → Photo zone with a sculpture shaped like a factory chimney Recommended snack: Bucheon specialty sundae fried food + cola set (7,500 won) at an alley snack shop near the museum 🚨 Final checklist The quiz event ends at 4:30 PM Be careful not to slip your glasses lenses during the VR experience Free distribution of worker memorial postcards at the exit of the exhibition hall (3 per person) As I left the exhibition hall, I held a copy of the handwritten notes left by the workers. The phrase "Do your best today" conveyed a passion that transcends time!!! Instead of factory noise, it was an opportunity to look back on how Bucheon, which is now filled with ideas from entrepreneurs, embraced and grew its dreams in the past... And I also looked back on myself.. #BucheonCityMuseum #BucheonTravel

#AustraliaFlightEvent #BucheonTravel #SpecialExhibition #koreatrip This afternoon, after the local history museum, I visited the "People who led Bucheon's industry, opening an era with dreams" exhibition held at the Bucheon City Museum!! This exhibition highlights the lives and passions of workers who worked in the Bucheon Industrial Complex from the 1960s to the 1980s. It was especially vivid because the worn-out work tools and photographs from the time were displayed along with the work sites recreated in real size!! It was so amazingㅠㅠ The experience of turning the steam machine model myself was a great opportunity to experience the technological challenges of the industrialization era.. 📌 Points for solo travelers Recommended activities: Understand the daily lives of workers at the time by reading a copy of the work log Hidden spots: 'Memory Radio' in the corner of the exhibition hall → Listen to labor songs and radio broadcasts from the 1980s Recommended snacks: Sesame latte + hotteok set (6,200 won) at the museum's 1st floor cafe 🚨 Notes The experience machine is only open until 5 p.m. No flash use when taking pictures A souvenir will be given to repeat visitors during the exhibition period (~11/20) In the "Time Traveler's Letter" corner, visitors can write letters to workers at the time and participate in a raffle I participated in an event that was delivered to the actual bereaved family through it!! You should try it too! On the way out of the exhibition, I was moved by the way the past and present spirit of challenge continue to be seen while looking at the startup cases of Hyundai Bucheon… #BucheonCityMuseum
