Since December 26 last year, a special exhibition titled "Neolithic Boats, Changing the World" has been open, and from the 2nd, a planned exhibition "Beauty Engraved on Pottery" is being held following the establishment of a new themed exhibition room.

"Neolithic Boats, Changing the World" is a special exhibition that reexamines the oldest Neolithic boat first discovered at the Bibong-ri Shell Midden, informing visitors about boat-making in the Neolithic era and the resulting changes in lifestyle and culture.

"Beauty Engraved on Pottery" is a planned exhibition that confirms the significance of pottery, which first appeared in the Neolithic period, and offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sense of people at the time through the patterns engraved on the pottery.
