Silhak Museum

Explore the exhibitions through Silhak scholars' questions

The permanent exhibition covers changes in Joseon society, the emergence of Silhak, and the ideas of different Silhak scholars. Rather than memorizing every difficult term, focus on the problems people were trying to solve.

You can also see exhibitions on astronomy and science. Starting with visible materials such as observations and maps makes the concept of Silhak more concrete.

Link the exhibition with Jeong Yak-yong's historic sites

Planning the museum and Jeong Yak-yong's historic sites together connects scholars' ideas with the places they lived. Check access information for each space separately and leave time for walking.

For exhibition tours or educational programs, first check the dates and languages offered. With foreign visitors, ask whether information materials are available in their languages too.
