2nd floor display room
The 2 nd floor display room gives us a good idea of Yeoju's long history, which began in the Paleolithic Age. There are stone utensils and tools, excavated in Neungseo-myeon and Gangcheon-myeon and used by ancient Yeoju residents during the Paleolithic Age. Next to these, is an illustration of the history of rice farming in Korea. A diorama was built to give visitors a better idea of what it was like to live during those times.
Also on display is a model of a burial mound and stone, a good representation of how strategically important, militarily speaking, Yeoju was during the period of the Three Kingdoms.
Nearby are displayed artifacts such as a rain hat, a fur-lined hood, an ink stone, a brush and an ink slab. There is also a diorama of the traditional folk play, ¡°Ssangryong Geojuldarigi,¡± which won the President's Award at the National Folk Play Competition. Also on display are the convex and distinguished tiles, which were first used in the 8 th century. Finally, there are also displays of excavated ceramic artifacts, which were made over a thousand years ago giving evidence to the fact that Yeoju is indeed the ceramics capital in the country.
