Hanji Museum

Getting around: A short bus or taxi ride from central Jeonju/Hanok Village, in the outskirts of the city.
Hours: Typically Tuesday-Sunday, 9am-6pm, closed Mondays.

Hanji Museum focuses on jeonju hanji, Korea's traditional mulberry-paper craft, for which Jeonju has been a historic production center for centuries — the paper's durability and texture made it prized for everything from official documents to art and window coverings. Exhibits explain the labor-intensive traditional production process, and some visits include a hands-on paper-making demonstration.

It's a niche but genuinely interesting stop for visitors curious about traditional Korean craft, giving useful context to hanji products sold throughout Jeonju's markets and Hanok Village shops.
