A Deep Dive into Jeju's Past

#mytraveldiary The Jeju National Museum (국립제주박물관) offers an incredibly thorough and well-presented journey through the island's long history. Unlike the Folklore Museum, this institution focuses heavily on the archaeological and political narrative of Jeju, tracing its development from the prehistoric era through the Joseon Dynasty. We found the detailed exhibits on the Tamna Kingdom particularly fascinating, offering a look at Jeju as an independent entity before its full integration into Korea. The museum is structured chronologically, making it easy to follow the major historical events and how they shaped the unique character and culture of the island. It’s an absolute must for serious history enthusiasts.
