The Daejeon University Museum is an affiliated museum located within Daejeon University, and opened on October 27, 1984, based on 561 artifacts donated by Goam Seo Jeong-in.

Its main activities include cultural heritage field trips for the general public every spring and autumn, and liberal arts lectures.
The exhibition halls are divided into four: the Ceramics Room, the Ancient Calligraphy and Painting Room, the Ancient Documents Room, and the Metal Folklore Room. Among these, the Ceramics Room is again divided into Rooms 1 and 2. Room 1 displays various celadon wares including Goryeo sanggam celadon as well as pure celadon, relief celadon, and incised celadon, while Room 2 displays various white porcelain wares such as buncheong ware, a transitional form between celadon and white porcelain, as well as pure white porcelain, blue-and-white porcelain, and iron-painted white porcelain. In the Ancient Calligraphy and Painting Room in the center of the exhibition hall, Heo Yu's Seongnando and Maehwado, various rubbings from the Dunhuang Caves, and the handwriting of Seoae Yu Seong-ryong are displayed. In the Ancient Documents Room, some of the 2,681 woodblocks of the Ganjaejip are displayed at the front so that the publishing process of the Donguibogam, Uihakimmun, and Hyangyakjipseongbang located right next to them can be easily understood, and at the back, various ancient documents such as letters (ganchal) of Joseon-era scholars including Heungseon Daewongun, royal edicts (gyoji) issued by the king, nokpae which are like today's pay stubs, appeals (sangso), and circular letters (tongmun) are displayed so that the living culture of the ancestors can be examined.
