The jewel museum is Iksan’s diamond in the rough. Passing under a massive triangular building reminiscent of the pyramid at the Louvre, you enter the main jewelry exhibit filled with gorgeous gems and fun hands-on learning stations. Outside, there’s an outdoor stage and a plaza, and a fossil gallery and a dinosaur theme park are also in the area. 10 am – 6 pm. Closed Monday. Adults W3,000, students W2,000, children W1,000. jewelmuseum.go.kr, 063-859-4641
