Welcome to the National Women's History Museum in Goyang!
Did you know that there is a National Women's History Museum located near Hwajeong Station in Goyang City?
This museum, situated within the Government Goyang Regional Joint Government Building, may be small in size, but it houses a vast history of Korean women.
The museum spans two floors. The first floor features a library called 'Yeojun Bookstore' and a study café concept space.
The second floor is dedicated to exhibition halls.
The permanent exhibition at the National Women's History Museum is organized by era and field. Although the number of exhibits is limited, the spacious layout allows for focused engagement with the displays.
This museum is a space that encapsulates the stories of women that should not be forgotten. Each exhibit resonates deeply, touching the heart.
It is a space where visitors can feel the painful yet essential stories of women throughout our nation's history, stories that continue to unfold today.
This is a place I would love to show to children, as it is filled with important narratives.
The museum's permanent themed exhibition, titled 'Voices,' runs from September 30, 2026, to May 31, 2027. This exhibition tells the history of the women's rights movement through three perspectives:
- Voices against legal and social discrimination
- Voices of workers demanding equality in the workplace
- Voices responding to violence in society and home
On the first floor, there is a special exhibition commemorating the 60th anniversary of Korean nurses dispatched to Germany, titled 'Those Who Chose Tomorrow.' This exhibition illuminates the personal lives of these nurses through photographs and letters.
The National Women's History Museum is a treasure trove of stories, including old passports and personal items from those who worked as nurses in Germany.
It was particularly moving to read a heartfelt letter included in the exhibition.
Anyone can visit the Yeojun Bookstore on the first floor, a cozy space for reading and studying. The collection includes not only women's history but also a variety of humanities and general books, making it a welcoming space for all.
Parking is available for free in the basement.
The National Women's History Museum may be small, but it is rich in content, making it a must-visit destination, especially with the relaxing Yeojun Bookstore!
Thank you for considering a visit!
