Exploring the Jincheon Historical Theme Park: A Cultural Retreat
During the summer, indoor travel destinations that allow you to escape the midday heat are particularly welcome.
The Jincheon Historical Theme Park features the Jincheon County Seonggeo Print Art Museum, where you can appreciate various print artworks. Nearby, you will also find the Jincheon Bell Museum and the Casting Education Center, making it an ideal spot to plan a cultural trip by visiting all three locations in succession.
Location: 1504-10 Baekgok-ro, Jincheon-eup, Jincheon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do
Closed: Every Monday
Admission Fee: 2,000 KRW for a combined ticket to the Jincheon Bell Museum and the Seonggeo Print Art Museum
Parking: Available at the Jincheon Historical Theme Park parking lot
As of 2026, the general admission fee for the combined ticket remains 2,000 KRW, allowing access to both the Jincheon Bell Museum and the Seonggeo Print Art Museum.
There is ample parking space nearby, making it convenient to visit by car. The art museum, bell museum, and casting education center are all close together, allowing for a leisurely exploration on foot without needing to drive again.
Currently, the museum is hosting an exhibition titled "Carving the Threads of Nature, Printing the Layers of the Heart," which runs from June 19 to August 30, 2026. This exhibition features 43 print artworks that either realistically depict natural landscapes or reflect the artist's inner self projected onto nature, showcasing the diverse expressive techniques of 22 participating artists.
As you examine each piece slowly, you can appreciate how different expressions of line, color, and printmaking techniques create varying atmospheres, even when depicting the same subject of nature.
In particular, the unique lines and textures of printmaking, distinct from photography or painting, provide an engaging viewing experience. It is also beneficial to read the titles and descriptions alongside the artworks to compare how each artist perceives and expresses nature.
The exhibition space is thoughtfully arranged to allow visitors to engage with printmaking and art in various ways, making it enjoyable to savor the exhibition while exploring at a relaxed pace.
If you finish viewing the exhibition, I recommend stopping by the experiential area inside. There is a space where children can draw, allowing for a seamless transition from appreciating art to engaging in artistic activities.
During the summer vacation period, a program titled "Summer Vacation, Art Museum Exploration" will also take place. Until August 23, anyone can participate in the "Exploring the Art Museum" word puzzle related to printmaking, and you can also register on-site for the "Overlay Drawing" activity, where you can learn the principles of multi-color printmaking by drawing on transparent plates.
After visiting the art museum, don't miss the nearby Casting Education Center, which is also hosting an exhibition, making it a great complement to your visit to the Seonggeo Print Art Museum.
Finally, by traveling to the Jincheon Bell Museum, you can continue your cultural journey that began with printmaking, exploring the history and production process of traditional Korean bells.
The Seonggeo Print Art Museum may not be large in size, but it stands out as a place where you can enjoy exhibitions, experiences, and surrounding cultural facilities as a cohesive itinerary. By taking advantage of the ongoing collection exhibition and summer vacation programs, and visiting the Casting Education Center and Jincheon Bell Museum in succession, you can enjoy a fulfilling indoor outing in Jincheon, even during the hot summer.
