This replacement exhibition has been organized to display Goguryeo artifacts excavated from Achasan 4th Fort and Sirubong Fort, both of which were major military strongholds of Goguryeo. The exhibition aims to provide visitors with a unique opportunity to directly observe and learn about the robust military culture and brilliant history of Goguryeo.

In particular, eleven newly unveiled artifacts, including a Jangdongho (a long-bodied jar), excavated from Achasan 4th Fort and Sirubong Fort, are drawing heightened anticipation.

Baek Kyunghyun, Mayor of Guri City, stated, "Through this artifact replacement exhibition, visitors will be able to experience a richer collection of Goguryeo artifacts discovered at the Achasan fortresses in Guri City," adding, "I hope this will be a valuable opportunity for everyone to directly feel and learn about the indomitable spirit and brilliant history of Goguryeo."

Meanwhile, Goguryeo Blacksmith Village operates a variety of educational programs and activities that go beyond simple artifact viewing, allowing visitors to directly experience history and culture.

Through four daily museum guided tours, visitors can receive in-depth explanations about the artifacts. There are also engaging programs such as "Goguryeo Blacksmith Village Treasure Hunt" for young children and "I Am a Goguryeo Soldier," where participants can try on armor and experience archery.

In spring and autumn, programs such as the "Achasan Family Exploration Team," which offers direct field trips to Achasan 4th Fort and Sirubong Fort, as well as the "Samjogo Soap Making" experience on Culture Day, and "Let's Play with Roof Tiles at Goguryeo Blacksmith Village," a project supported by Gyeonggi Province, are receiving enthusiastic responses.
