KOREA STONE MUSEUMS
There are approximately 45 suseok museums and exhibition halls in South Korea in 2026. We are preparing a list of these museums to post on this site. Watch for it.
Hyeonnaemyeon (현내면) Township
950-1 Danghang-ri
Hoehwa Myeon,
Goseong-gun (inside the Goseong Danghangpo Tourist Area)
Gyeongsangnam-do
Geosan Suseok Exhibition Hall (괴산 수석전시관) at Jungwon University in Goesan County, Gyeongsangnam-do Province. This scenic county, located in the forested, mountainous region of central Korea, is experiencing a population decline. Established in 2014, the museum offers visitors the opportunity to learn about Korea's geological and cultural heritage through displays of natural stone and fossils. In addition to attractive displays of Suseok, this museum houses a library of stone-related books for visitors to consult and deepen their knowledge of viewing stone appreciation.
Pyeongchang City
111 Bawiggongwon-gil,
Pyeongchang-eup,
Pyeongchang-gun
Gangwon-do
The Pyeongchang Stone Culture Museum (평창 돌문화 체험관) located in Gangwon-do province in the eastern mountainous region of Korea, is a prime example of a county government-supported stone museum. This museum is the largest facility of its kind in Korea. It was established and opened to the public in May 2020. An array of individual stones is displayed indoors, while large garden stones are displayed in a serene outdoor landscape. Both venues encourage visitors to appreciate the beauty found in natural stones while fostering a closer connection with nature. This museum offers educational programs for children and adults. This outstanding museum serves as a shining model for other countries to emulate.
The Pohang Museum of Steel Art (포항 철강예술관)
10 Hwanho Park-gil, Buk-gu,
Pohang-si,
Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea (한국어: 경상북도 포항시 북구 환호공원길 10)
Some year-round Suseok exhibitions are part of a larger museum. The Pohang Museum of Steel Art (포항시립미술관) opened in 2009 and focuses on sculptural materials made of steel and on the display of natural stones. Pohang is located on the eastern coast and is the steel-producing capital of Korea. One floor of this museum is dedicated to Korean viewing stones. Attractive displays of Suseok offer visitors to the region an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of natural stones. Members of the Korean Suseok Association donated the stones. This museum also has one of the largest Suseok-oriented libraries in Korea.
