Daegu Yangnyeongsi Museum of Oriental Medicine — Attraction in Daegu

Wow! Loved this place! Free entry, free tea, can dress up & take pictures, check your health, shop in their store.. we loved their ginseng candy, and enjoy the museum. We did all the hands on activities they offered. You have to make reservations because they need to get everything ready. You can pay with credit card. We made facial spray, lip balm, facial soap, and did the medicinal foot bath. It was amazing! We' had so much fun. We stayed about an hour and a half. Extremely affordable. Photo ops outside and an easy walk to medicine herb alley. You can park here as well. Make sure you get your parking pass stamped to get an hour free. They open at 9am, but I think they start hands on experience at 10am. Have fun!...

There’s a small gift shop on the second floor near...

An interesting and informative place to learn about the history and tradition of Korean herbal medicine. The museum offers a well-curated look into Daegu’s long-standing role as a center for oriental medicine, with exhibits on medicinal herbs, ancient tools, and traditional healing practices. The interactive displays and detailed explanations make the experience engaging even for those without prior knowledge of the subject. It’s not a large museum, but it’s thoughtfully organized and worth a visit if you’re curious about Korean culture, traditional healing, or the city’s historical trade in medicinal ingredients. The area around the museum also has herbal shops that complement the...
