Jjajangmyeon Museum is built in the former building of Gonghwachun, the official birthplace of jjajangmyeon, a food people of all ages love. Gonghwachun operated in this old-fashioned brick building until 1983, and the building was renovated as Jjajangmyeon Museum. It is the first jjajangmyeon-themed museum in Korea and consists of six permanent exhibition rooms and one special exhibition room. Visitors can see the birth and transformation of jjajangmyeon at a glance and the different types and recipes of jjajangmyeon. The special exhibition room presents exhibitions on a variety of topics every year. The reproduction of Gonghwachun’s original reception room and kitchen as well as the exhibition of how the metal delivery box changed over the years are also interesting.
