Description
  • Public transportation: Bus route 567 (To Onhye)

Opened in July 2004 to mark the centennial of the birth of poet and independence activist Lee Wonrok—better known by his pen name, Lee Yuksa—the museum is located in his hometown of Woncheon-ri, Dosan-myeon. The name "Yuksa" (264) derives from his prison number during a three-year sentence at Daegu Penitentiary, following his involvement in the 1927 bombing of the Joseon Bank's Daegu branch. Inside the museum, visitors can view Lee's handwritten manuscripts, poetry collections, and materials related to the independence movement. Nearby are restored landmarks such as the Green Grape Spring and a reconstruction of his birthplace. The original site of his home, about 500 meters from the museum, was at risk of submersion due to the construction of Andong Dam; it was relocated to Taehwa-dong in Andong, and a memorial stone now marks the original location.
