Andong Folk Museum is located within the Andong Dam Folk Village, a collection of houses and items collected before being submerged after the creation of the dam. The museum preserves and educates visitors on folk, Buddhist, and Confucian cultures. The museum is divided into an indoor section and an outdoor section. The indoor section in particular focuses on the unique cultural aspects of Andong through various exhibitions, as well as in the video screening room. The outdoor section features nearly 20 traditional structures, including hanok houses and old ice storage rooms, providing a closer look at the lifestyle of the past.
