Its unique walls, finished with basalt, were built to resemble the porous rock. An artists' village nearby features more than 20 creative buildings constructed in harmony with nature. For more information, visit the museum's website athttp://www.jejumuseum.go.kr.
◆ Folk Village
Those interested in Jeju's traditional aspects are recommended to visit Seongeup Folk Village where they can get a glimpse of what the island might have looked like in the 15th century. The village has a number of cultural assets, a mountain at the back and an expansive field of pampas grass in front, adding to its natural beauty. Inside the village, ancient buildings from a fortress to a government office and thatched houses can be seen.
In addition, an intangible cultural asset -- four pieces of folk songs -- has been handed down in the village. They have been recognized for their value.

◆ Theme Park
There is a theme park with the world's longest labyrinth, called Mazeland. It has three labyrinths, with the theme of Jeju's three things in abundance – wind, stones, and women represented by the island's female divers. The labyrinths consist of 36 paths each.
