About
A government-run museum dedicated to Jeju's haenyeo — the women free-divers who have shaped the island's coastal economy and culture for centuries. Permanent exhibitions cover diving practices, religious rites, songs, communal organization, and oral histories. Most artifacts on display were donated by the divers themselves.
