남원 백두대간전시관

Namwon Baekdudaegan Ecological Education Museum is where you can see, listen to and experience information about Baekdudaegan, which is the 1,470km-long mountain range that stretches from Byeongsabong Peak of Baekdusan Mountain in North Korea all the way to Cheonwangbong Peak of Jirisan Mountain. You can feel the beauty of the curves from the exterior of the museum whose roof resembles the shape of the Korean Peninsula. The museum consists of two floors and, interestingly, you start the tour of the museum from the second floor and make your way down to the first floor. On the second floor of the museum, you can check out the history, culture and ecology of Baekdudaegan. History and culture may sound a bit dry but the museum is far from dry as it grabs the audience’s attention with interesting themes such as “Encountering Beomi, a baby tiger.” Various exhibited items express the ecology of Baekdudaegan in such a real way that you do not feel any sense of heterogeneity. “Running through Baekdudaegan” is especially popular among children as they can dynamically ride a tiger replica while enjoying a video. The first floor of the museum is known for its audiovisual space. “Reaching Jirisan” plays in the 3D Animatronics Hall and, here, you can see wild animals and enjoy the video in harmony with colorful lighting. In the Sound Media Performance Hall, “Baekdudaegan Mountainous Village Story” plays videos, each of which introduces mountainous villages located in seven regions, and you can listen to them with the available headsets. Meanwhile, the 5D Circle Theater enables you to watch a vivid story of a boy and a white tiger.
