Located in Andong Hahoe Village, Jisan Historic House was designated as Folklore Material No. 140 of Gyeongsangbuk-do in 2010 in recognition of its value as a cultural heritage with more than 150 years of history. The hanok, which is situated in a large grassy yard and exudes an aura of antiquity, is visited by many people who come to enjoy its tranquility and its various experience programs. The house was presented by King Heonjong of Joseon in 1841 to Jisan Ryu Jiyeong (1828-1896), who served as a Useungji (accounting official) of the Seungjeongwon (Royal Secretariat), as Daesagan (chief censor) of the Saganwon (Office of Censors), and as Andongbusa (Local Administrator of Andong). Jisan, who was known for his integrity, diligence, and heaven-ordained being, named the house "Jonyangdang". In 2009, the house, in its capacity as a local museum, entrusted 2,950 artifacts collected by many generations of the family to the Korean Studies Advancement Center. Upon entering the house, the visitor will see a yard surrounded by a low fence. The flower beds contain many garden balsams, peonies, and common cosmoses among other flowers, and there is a special place on one side called a jangdokdae where many crocks are placed. And when you go over to the sarangbang right over the yard, you can see the figure of "ㅁ" made by "ㄷ"-shaped main wing (Momchae) and "ㅡ"-shaped minor wing (Araetchae). Usually, the sarangbang is situated opposite the anbang, but Jisan attached the rooms to practice his conviction of not enlarging the house. However, as men and women were strictly segregated, Jisan built the anbang as an internal structure that could not be seen from the sarangbang. He also built a relatively small gate and shrine. The house has four guestrooms – the anbang, sangbang, and sarangbang, which are clustered together but remain independent spaces, and the chogabang, which is the smallest of the four and is separate from the other rooms. Each room has a daecheongmaru (wooden floor) that is spacious enough to enjoy a drink of tea with one’s family, and a toenmaru (narrow wooden veranda running along the outside of the building) with an open view of the outside. As the stone wall and gates are low, guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountain and the tiled-roof houses of the village.

King Sejong, the 4th king of the Joseon Dynasty (1397-1450, reigning from 1418-1450) was responsible for some of the most brilliant achievements in the history of Korea, including the creation of Hangeul (Korean alphabet) and great advancements in the areas of science, culture, art and politics. The passage behind the Statue of King Sejong in Gwanghwamun Square is home to The Story of King Sejong Exhibition Hall, which describes some of the king’s most astounding contributions to the development of Korea as a nation.
The Story of King Sejong Exhibition Hall comprises of 9 different sections with a total area of 3,200㎡. Throughout the museum are a variety of displays detailing Sejong’s invention of Hangeul, and his scientific, artistic, military, and political contributions (including the theory of Minbon, which recognized the people as the base of politics).
*General Information
For the convenience and entertainment of visitors, the museum also has a special exhibition room, the King Sejong Multimedia Room, books, a souvenir shop, and a lounge.
The Exhibition Hall’s relatively new ‘Cia-Cia Hangeul Story Hall’ (opened in Feb. 12, 2010) gives visitors an even better chance to see the far-reaching effects of Sejong’s efforts. The Cia-Cia tribe in Indonesia, in lieu of having its own writing system, adopted Hangeul as their official written language.
The Story of King Sejong Exhibition Hall is linked to the KT building on the left and the Sejong Center for Performing Arts on the right through an easily-accessible underground passageway.
The museum is open every day (except Mondays) from 10:30am to 10:30pm.

Ungno Lee Museum of Art is the neat little white building surrounded by pine trees, located next to the Daejeon Museum of Art. The museum was designed by French architect Laurent Beaudouin, to commemorate the life and work of the artist Goam Ungno Lee (1904-1989), who devoted his whole life to the modernization and globalization of Korean tradition through architecture. The 4 halls in the museum give the feeling of all flowing together into one continual, unified space. The building pays homage to Lee’s life and works, dating from his early ventures to his final days.
Just as Goam’s work epitomized the harmony between East and West, it is very interesting to note that the architecture of the museum reflects the combined efforts of Ungno Lee, the Korean artist, and Laurent Beaudouin, the French architect. In March 2010, ‘Sudeoksa Temple Museum of Art,’ the first Buddhism Museum of Art opened in Sudeoksa Temple in Yesan, also showcasing the life and work of Goam.
