Gongju Folk Drama Museum (공주민속극박물관)

The Gongju Folk Drama Museum is a special museum in which a variety of Korean folk arts can be experienced. The dolls, masks and musical instruments that are used in folk dramas, shamanism-related resources and conventional farming implements are on display, nestled in a small, cozy pine grove (9,398㎡).

On Saturdays and Sundays, visitors can participate in a mask making program or watch a puppet show. In spring (before and after mid-March, lunar calendar), the Gyeryongsan Sansinje Ritual is practiced near Gyeryongsan Mountain. During the ritual, local festivals are also held. In fall (the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday of every October), the Asian Monodrama Festival is held at a museum theater and outdoor performance stage. During this festival, visitors can watch historic and contemporary Asian monodramas.
