What travelers say:

The museum is dedicated to sea women, who can go to the sea without wearing oxygen masks to catch mollusks and octopuses. UNESCO declares sea women an intangible cultural heritage of mankind. Shortly after we visited the museum, we saw a group of sea women singing their traditional songs and then going to the sea to fish. It was fun to see the sea women cheering. The museum is well laid out, rich in content and interesting. Its display of models, personal life stories, costumes and tools really brings to mind how hard life was for the Sea Girl in the past (and not easy today), and there is a short film that explains the Sea Girl tradition and history. Very worth a visit! I found this museum very interesting. I had a little understanding of Hanyeo before, but it gave me a more detailed understanding. The exhibits (composed of genuine Haenyeo clothing, tools and equipment as well as stereo models, videos and various files) are well laid out, with interpretations and labels that come with almost all high-quality English translations. I read every word and it took me less than two hours to complete my visit, which was very cost-effective considering the ticket was only 1100 won. Especially if you are already on the east side of the island, I recommend you to visit here.
