In a serene exhibition hall, roof tiles and ridge-end tiles are displayed under soft lighting, showcasing the beauty of ancient times. By comparing patterns and shapes from different eras, visitors can appreciate the delicate aesthetic sense and craftsmanship of our ancestors. This exhibition, held at the Ganghwa History Museum, highlights the architectural beauty of the Goryeo and Joseon periods. The ridge-end tiles engraved with dragon and lotus patterns are not merely decorative but symbolize authority and faith.

Particularly, through a restored roof model, visitors can observe how the tiles were arranged and functioned. This exhibition offers a chance to learn architectural principles with children and naturally understand the value of cultural heritage. It is a special opportunity to experience the essence of traditional architecture in a tranquil atmosphere.
