Yanggu: High-Quality White Clay and Porcelain
Surrounded by blue mountains and traversed by picturesque rivers, Yanggu serves as a gateway to every corner of the country and boasts deposits of high-quality white clay and pottery stone, which are essential for the production of white porcelain. The white clay from this region was so renowned for its quality that it was used to produce white porcelain for the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty, whose reign lasted around 500 years, earning the region a reputation as the sole place producing white porcelain for about 600 years, until the 1970s, from the end of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Yanggu's Heritage
The Yanggu Porcelain Museum began its work in June 2006, aiming to preserve the history of white porcelain production in the region, study Yanggu's white clay, and find ways to use it to meet contemporary needs. The Yanggu Porcelain Museum offers a variety of exhibitions and programs inspired by the slogan: "Yanggu Porcelain: The Source of Joseon Porcelain! Yanggu Clay: The Heart of Joseon Porcelain!"
