Special Exhibition: 'Land, Rice, and People'
As the sun rises, work begins; as the moon rises, rest follows. This exhibition captures the honest and diligent record of a farmer's day.
In mid-September, walking through the fields, you can see the agricultural land turning golden.
Although autumn felt distant during the hot summer, it has now arrived, stepping closer to us.
This fall is also predicted to be a good harvest season, with some areas already completing their harvest.
In this season of harvest, we present an exhibition that reflects on the meaning of rice and the significance of farmers.
Join us for the Goyang Kawaji Rice Seed Museum special exhibition: 'Land, Rice, and People: A Farmer's Daily Record'.
Exhibition Period: August 18, 2026 - December 31, 2026
Visiting Hours: 09:30 AM - 05:30 PM (Closed on Sundays and public holidays)
Admission Fee: Free
The special exhibition at the Goyang Kawaji Rice Seed Museum began on August 18, coinciding with 'Rice Day', and will run until December 31.
The narratives of 'Land, Rice, and People' will be introduced through over 20 artifacts, including records of agricultural life during the late Joseon period and land transaction culture.
The museum, located within the Goyang City Agricultural Technology Center, features outdoor exhibits showcasing scientific farming tools from the Joseon era.
Experience the charm of a small agricultural field where rice grains are ripening, with plans for small-scale harvesting soon.
The Goyang Kawaji Rice Seed Museum commemorates the first cultivated rice seed in Korea, the Goyang Kawaji rice, established during the development of Ilsan New Town in 1991.
Opened as the Agricultural Theme Park in 2000, it was renamed the Goyang Kawaji Rice Seed Museum in 2014.
In June 1991, rice seeds dating back approximately 5,020 years were discovered in the peat bog of Kawaji Village, changing the understanding of rice farming origins in Korea.
Previously believed to have begun in the Bronze Age, this discovery pushed the timeline back to the Neolithic Age.
Explore the daily life of a Joseon farmer through this exhibition that connects the agricultural practices of the past with the present.
We invite you to visit and experience the essence of the harvest season at the Goyang Kawaji Rice Seed Museum.
Thank you.
