Early Printing Museum

About

The Cheongju Early Printing Museum is a space that seems to hold the quiet, timeworn air of the Heungdeoksa temple site. Beneath warm lighting, its low walls and ceiling seem to momentarily stop time. Visitors, as if turning a page, slowly trace the printed patterns engraved on paper, sensing the wisdom and skill of the ancients. Each exhibition space seems to read the traces left by the power of the written word, beyond simple lines and forms. In this place where the depth of early printing can be felt, a story is told within a quiet margin where Chinese characters and Hangeul flow together.
