The Gangwondo forest museum park made the forest recognized as a more familiar space by providing forest recreations and spaces for learning nature in the heart of a city, which match with the stature of the 1st ranked forest in the whole nation, in connection with the Gangwondo provincial flower garden.

Like this, the Gangwondo forest museum park was constructed so that a new forest culture space should be created. This museum performs a function of providing various research materials simultaneously while conserving and exhibiting the forest historical records in four exhibition rooms, planning exhibition hall, and storage area, etc. In January, 2004, the 4 D solid visual house (3D image and haptic effect) was opened to have delivered the message regarding the forest and environment to the audience. As for the forest museum, four exhibition halls from the 1st exhibition hall to the 4th exhibition hall, image room, planning exhibition hall, multi-purpose room, and storage area are placed, so the audience can confirm the forest encyclopedia, including the role and kinds of forests and mode of life in forests, etc, by their eyes. ? First, when the audience enters the museum, they meet a lobby, where 182 sights such

as various plants, fossils, forest equipments, wood handicrafts, etc, in Gangwondo are displayed, and the model of solid topography of Gangwondo. If the audience use a touch screen installed in the center of the lobby, not only noted sceneries and cultural properties of 18 cities and guns within Gangwon-do but also the nature environment and future of Gangwon-do are viewed at one sight through the optical fiber PDP, etc. In the left of the lobby, a table with chairs of 9 species of wood such as a white birch, mulberry, and birch, etc. entices the audience to have a cup of tea, and a lime tree and pagoda tree brought from Inje and an Indonesian petrified wood show the mystery of nature.
