A glimpse into Earth's history through rocks, the Geological Exhibition

The Ganghwa Natural History Museum's geological exhibition offers a fascinating look into Earth's inner layers. Here, visitors can explore a variety of rocks such as granite, basalt, sandstone, and gneiss, each showcasing unique formation processes. The distinct colors, textures, and crystal structures of the rocks provide a visually engaging experience. Some rocks can even be observed under magnification, allowing visitors to visually grasp the changes and passage of time within Earth's interior. Informative displays detail the environments in which these rocks were formed—volcanic activity, erosion, and sedimentation—enhancing the educational value of the exhibit. Young visitors can compare the 'ages of rocks' to easily understand geological eras. This captivating exhibition invites visitors to feel the weight of time etched into the rocks and gain a deeper appreciation for Earth's long history of transformation.
