The state-of-the-art digital museum provides information as well as hands-on experiences with traditional Korean culture. The Traditional Culture Contents Museum suggests a new standard for a museum. 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. Furthermore, the museum offers the digital contents to cultural product development and the edu-entertainment, game, and animation industry as a resource to contribute to the cultural contents industry. The museum introduced a new visitor-tailored RFID card system to provide visitor-tailored guide programs. A RFID card containing each visitor’s gender and nationality provides each guest with a customized guide to the museum.

It was about 500 years ago when people first settled in Oeam Village. The landscape is a combination of towering jangseung (village guardian totem poles), sotdae (wooden poles with a carved bird on top), thatch-roofed houses and hanok buildings. This rural village is a place where visitors can experience traditional customs and participate in hands-on programs. Formed when the Yi family from Yean settled here, the village is nestled at the base of Gwangdeoksan and Seolhwasan Mountains. 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. There is also an old zelkova tree that’s about 600 years old. Because of its outstanding value, the village was designated as Important Folklore Cultural Heritage No. 236. 30 hands-on programs are available for visitors interested in experiencing folk cultures.
