About

The Sokcho Municipal Museum is a place where you can encounter the diverse history and culture of Sokcho from prehistoric times to the modern era. It highlights the unique identity of Sokcho, where the mountain village culture centered around Seoraksan, the fishing village culture of the East Sea, and the culture of displaced people who settled after the Han-gukjeonjaeng coexist. In particular, the Silhyangminmunhwachon created outdoors reproduces the Houses of the Five Northern Provinces, allowing you to vividly experience the lives of displaced people in the past, and through Korea's only Balhaeyeoksagwan, you can deeply explore the history of Balhae, which dominated Manchuria and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

It provides a special time to understand and empathize with Sokcho's past and present through various exhibitions and experience programs.
