View original description
Chuncheon Makguksu Museum was built with the theme of buckwheat noodles (makguksu), Chuncheon’s local dish. The museum's unique exterior design was inspired by the image of making buckwheat noodles. This two-story building has an exhibition hall introducing buckwheat noodles (makguksu) and buckwheat (maemil) on the first floor and an experience center where visitors can make and try their own makguksu on the second floor. In particular, the first floor displays a dimensional exhibition on the origin and tradition of makguksu, and the origin and efficacy of maemil. It is recommended to visit the exhibition before the makguksu making experience activity. The makguksu making experience is available starting from groups of two people. With the help of an instructor, participants will experience the entire production process of makguksu from kneading dough to making noodles by pressing the noodle frame. After finishing making noodles, participants will mix noodles with vegetables and a spicy sauce. Soy sauce seasoning is also available.
