Chungju Museum was established with the purpose of preserving academic research and artifacts of the Korea's central inland cultural region and realizing a museum that engages with citizens through various events such as special exhibitions. It is composed of the first exhibition hall, the second exhibition hall, and outdoor exhibition spaces. The first exhibition hall displays Buddhist relics, such as those related to Mireukdaewon Stone Temple Site and the second exhibition hall focuses on materials excavated from the Chungju area, showcasing the historical characteristics from the prehistoric era to the Unified Silla period. In particular, the exhibition of the Chungju Goguryeobi Monument and the Danyang Jeokseongbi Monument demonstrates that the Chungju area was a strategic location during the Three Kingdoms period.
