Podo Museum (포도뮤지엄)
788 Sallngnam-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do
Opened in April 2021, Podo Museum aims to be a space that promotes the symbiosis of the Earth's ecological environment and humankind and listens to the voices of the socially underprivileged. It operates mainly around exhibitions without any separate experience programs. Exhibitions are held following the museum's goals and themes. As the content changes depending on the period, checking the website before visiting is recommended. The museum also has a café and souvenir shop on its first floor, making it great to look around on rainy days when outdoor sightseeing is not a preferred option. There are Camellia Hill, Bangju Church, and Bonte Museum nearby, so visitors are recommended to look around.
