The name 'Nongdari Storyum' combines 'Story' and 'rium,' reflecting a space where various stories of the Nongdari bridge come to life.
The interior begins with a prologue, leading into history, science, live sketches, bridge construction, interactive exhibits, and special exhibition rooms.
Upon entering the exhibition hall, I was captivated by the media art alongside a model of the Nongdari bridge. The combination of light and video enhanced the experience, making the model feel lifelike.
Having just crossed the bridge, the familiar shape presented in media art was even more engaging and enjoyable.
The historical exhibition allowed me to encounter various legends associated with the bridge, particularly one about siblings. It was intriguing to learn that such stories are tied to an old stone bridge, and experiencing them through video made the legends more enjoyable.
Following the legends, I explored ancient documents that reference the Nongdari bridge, including the local history book 'Sangsanjee.' Seeing the bridge mentioned in historical texts made its long-standing significance in the region even more impressive.
If I had only looked at the bridge without visiting the Storyum, I would have missed out on these fascinating stories revealed through historical records.
The next section explains how the Nongdari bridge was constructed. Its unique structure is made by interlocking natural stones. While the outdoor view focuses on the overall appearance, the Storyum provides a more detailed understanding of the bridge's structure and construction principles.
As I learned about the reasons behind the bridge's enduring form over time, I also gained insights into the construction techniques of our ancestors.
The exhibition continues to explore the evolution of bridges in human life, providing a broader perspective on the Nongdari bridge.
There are also fun corners for children, allowing them to engage actively rather than just viewing the exhibits. They can draw and see the results on screen, making it a more enjoyable visit.
In the interactive space, I had the opportunity to experience flying around the Nongdari area. This physical activity added a unique element to the visit, using digital content to present the bridge as more than just a historical cultural heritage.
The special exhibition room also featured hands-on experiences, such as stamping in a prepared space, which was a delightful way to conclude the visit. For children, this became a memorable experience of their trip to the Nongdari Storyum.
After exploring the exhibitions, I also checked out various merchandise themed around the Nongdari bridge. From souvenirs to character products, it was enjoyable to browse items that could commemorate a trip to Jincheon.
Visiting the Nongdari Storyum after seeing the bridge creates a natural connection to its content. You can revisit the bridge's structure, discover legends and historical records, and enjoy drawing and flying experiences with children, making your trip to the Nongdari even more fulfilling.
As a free indoor exhibition space, the Storyum is a great addition to a Jincheon travel itinerary, allowing you to learn more about the stories behind the Nongdari bridge and enjoy various experiences with your family.
