Jjajangmyeon Museum is the only jjajangmyeon-themed museum in Korea, opened by remodeling the building where Korea's first jjajangmyeon specialty restaurant, 'Gonghwachun', was located. Built around 1908 as a Chinese-style building and designated as a registered cultural property in 2006, this place is a living historical relic in itself. The museum vividly shows the background of jjajangmyeon's birth, its historical changes by era, and the image of jjajangmyeon deeply integrated into Korean culture through various exhibitions and models.
In particular, the exhibition room recreating the Gonghwachun kitchen in the 1960s and the scenery of Chinese restaurants by era make visitors feel that jjajangmyeon is more than just food, but a precious medium of memories containing modern Korean history and culture.
