Sosu Museum aims to consolidate and organize the nation’s traditional Confucian legacy and to establish the root of the national spirit through Sosuseowon, the first Confucian academy ever created in Korea. This museum is the only Confucian museum where visitors can experience the very valuable legacy of the Confucian culture and the rise and fall of Confucianism during the Joseon dynasty. The museum opened on September 22, 2004 and since then, it has been a place where one can experience the dynamic historical adventure through valuable Confucian relics and remains. The museum also aims to revitalize the local culture of the Yeongju area by showcasing the region's well-preserved cultural assets and items.
