Once a simple farming village, Oeam has now become a cultural village offering various programs and activities to both locals and tourists. Many of the buildings are thatch-roofed houses, and the traditional technique of thatching has passed down in the village until today. About 20 houses now function as accommodation facilities with capacities ranging from 5 to 15 guests, depending on the size of the hanok. The village has a 6.5-kilometer stone wall that incorporated rocks removed from earth when the village was being formed. Persimmon and ginkgo trees can be found all around the village.

This museum is a counterpart to NEWSEUM (News+Museum) in the US and ‘Sigureden’ (a digital museum/exhibition center) in Japan. The museum uses interactive computer technology to reenact traditions and give visitors the chances to learn the values and fundamental principles of Korean traditions. Visitors can experience traditional culture and the spirit of Korea not only from the still exhibits but also through the live stories the museum creates. In this way, the museum suggests a new paradigm of museum exhibition. The Museum features interactive digital contents with which visitors can experience cultural assets. An array of activities includes ‘Click Traditional Sound’, where visitors can listen to traditional folk songs, a song for bier carrying, or dialects; ‘Virtual Relic Experience’; ‘Junior Old Story Talk Talk’, which tells theologies, traditional tales, and myths; ‘Hahoe Mask Dance UCC’, in which visitors can learn how to dance the Hahoe mask dance and make their own user-created content; and a ‘4D Digital Image of Gochang Battle,’ which provides a hands-on experience of a historic battlefield.
