Bonsai Museum

The Bonsai Museum is a specialized bonsai museum that opened in September 1988 by the Korea Bonsai Research Institute to widely promote bonsai culture. About 5,000 bonsai cultivated and collected by the Korea Bonsai Research Institute over more than 20 years are on display, and it holds about 1,000 items of bonsai-related materials such as old documents and photographs. Among the collection are more than 200 bonsai works of high artistic value, including a 300-year-old maple tree and a black pine bonsai over 500 years old, as well as Japanese black pine, various fruit trees, plum trees, and crape myrtles.
You can feel great charm in the appearance of bonsai that capture a small piece of nature and in the beauty that changes as time and the seasons pass; there is also a College of Tree Design where you can receive education about bonsai, and a tree hospital where diseased trees can be treated. The museum's activities focus on bonsai education for public officials and the general public. For the general public, there are weekly basic and technical bonsai classes, and for relevant public officials, commissioned training is held six times a year.
