Exhibition & halls

Three spaces and the exhibition

Three spaces in the hanok halls

The center is built in the traditional hanok style. Inside are an exhibition hall, Suyanggak (수양각), an education room, Hunjasil (훈자실), and a video room (영상실).

They offer an easy and engaging way to learn about Yaeun’s life and the spirit of Neo-Confucianism.

Statue, garden and lawn plaza

Around the halls are a statue of Yaeun Gil Jae (야은 길재), a garden and a rest area.

It sits right next to the lawn plaza of Geumosan Provincial Park (금오산도립공원), so it is a pleasant place for a walk and a break.

Drop by before or after your Geumosan (금오산) hike for a light look at the history and humanities of Gumi.
