What is Hanam Museum of History?
Hanam Museum of History (하남역사박물관) is a cultural space in Hanam that permanently exhibits the regional history, relics, and ruins of the area, including Historic Site No. 422 Iseongsanseong Fortress (이성산성).
A core feature on the third floor is the Iseongsanseong Immersive Experience Hall (이성산성 실감관), located inside the Ancient History Room (고대실). This permanent experiential zone utilizes augmented reality (AR) technology to connect museum artifacts with the historic mountain fortress ruins. Visitors can explore relics using a dedicated mobile app and engage with interactive AR content, including a virtual fortress wall construction experience. The experience runs regularly during standard museum operating hours without being restricted to temporary special exhibitions.
