About

The National Intangible Heritage Center is a complex cultural space established to systematically protect Korea's disappearing intangible cultural heritage and widely promote its value. Here, you can encounter permanent and special exhibitions themed around diverse intangible heritage, from crafts bearing the breath of artisans to Pansori containing our joyful melodies. In addition, it features a performance hall where actual holders of intangible heritage demonstrate and perform, providing a special experience to directly experience vivid traditional culture.

Beyond simply viewing artifacts, it is like a living museum where you can feel and learn our unique spirit and skills passed down through generations. Since it is also close to Jeonju Hanok Village, it is an essential visiting course for travelers who want to deeply explore the charm and excitement of traditional culture.
