Ji'an Museum
集安博物馆
A museum dedicated to Goguryeo artifacts, its building modelled on the General's Tomb, displaying gold ornaments, roof tiles, weapons and reconstructed mural tombs. Admission is free.
The Ji'an Museum lies in the northern part of the city. Its exterior is modelled on the stepped platform of the General's Tomb, and it is part of the Goguryeo Heritage Scenic Area. Permanent exhibitions present excavated artifacts by theme, including the founding of Goguryeo, its capitals, its tombs, and daily life and production. Highlights include gilt horse gear, gold earrings, inscribed roof tiles, weapons, and reconstructions of the Wukuifen and Jiaodi tomb murals. These help make sense of the Gwanggaeto Stele and the General's Tomb. Admission is free, and you collect a ticket by presenting your ID card. Opening hours are roughly 08:00 to 17:00. Hours are often extended during peak season and holidays, and whether the museum closes on Mondays should be confirmed with the official announcement.
