Korea Natural Dyeing Museum (한국천연염색박물관)

The Korea Natural Dyeing Museum sits on Baekho-ro in the Dasi-myeon district of Naju, South Jeolla Province, on the plain along the Yeongsan River that historically grew the indigo and mulberry that made the region a dyeing and weaving center. It is run by the Foundation for Natural Dyeing Culture in Naju, a civil-law foundation established in April 2006 with a stated mandate covering preservation of traditional dyeing techniques, education, and product distribution; the museum operates permanent and special exhibition halls, experience and education spaces, and an on-site sales shop.

Naju's Dasi-myeon area is also where the South Korean government has designated Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 115 (염색장, "Dyer"), a category first recognized in 2001 whose holders have included Jung Kwan-chae, born in the area's Saetgol village, who mastered the traditional four-step process of cultivating indigo leaves, extracting dye, preparing the paint, and dyeing cloth, and who has run his own workshop and academy in the district since. The museum's own materials describe this heritage designation as tied to the region generally rather than naming a specific individual, so the two are best understood as neighbors sharing the same craft lineage rather than one institution representing the other.

The foundation operates a companion online shop, the Naju Natural Dyeing Mall, selling indigo-dyed goods alongside its wider natural-dye catalog: silk scarves (roughly 40,000-70,000 KRW), two-tone indigo handkerchiefs (roughly 7,000-9,000 KRW), and infant clothing sets (roughly 46,000-118,750 KRW), plus raw dye materials, mordants, and dyeing tools and reference books for practitioners working in indigo and other natural dyes at home.
