Things to Know Before Setting Out

  • A full temporary closure of the attached car park was announced for 13–20 October 2026 for festival-stage setup. This was not a notice that the whole historic site would close. Check the latest notices from Amsa-dong Prehistoric Site in Seoul to see whether the car park is currently available.
  • Free early-morning exercise access does not mean the museum interior is open at those hours.
  • The pit houses in the photos are reconstructed dwellings, not intact original Neolithic buildings.

Places in the Photos

The reconstructed pit houses were photographed in 2016. The photos do not show current parking or festival operations or the preservation of original Neolithic buildings.
