Prehistoric Stories in Stone

#June Travel Support Fund The Ham-an Museum Dolmen Park, located in Gaya-eup, Haman-gun, Gyeongnam, not only features exhibitions centered on Ara Gaya relics, but also offers an even richer outing course thanks to the outdoor dolmen exhibition hall that extends outside the museum. This exhibition space, spread out in a wide yard, realistically recreates various prehistoric tomb styles, including northern and southern dolmens, compartment tombs, and stone chamber tombs. If you look at them as symbols of the beliefs and culture of prehistoric people rather than just boulders, spending time with children becomes much more meaningful. In particular, the Dongchon-ri dolmen No. 26 has 398 hole patterns carved into it, so you can have an interesting historical exploration while viewing it under the theme of ‘praying for abundance.’ There are also stone chairs and a deck in the exhibition space, so you can rest comfortably and look around, and on nice days, you can have a simple snack or picnic on the lawn square. It’s a great place to spend a day seeing Gaya culture indoors and experiencing the Bronze Age tomb culture outdoors. 📍153-31 Gobungil, Gaya-eup, Haman-gun, Gyeongnam (Haman Museum)
