Chungnam Forestry Museum is dedicated to preserving and exhibiting the forestry resources while educating its visitors.  As the first local forestry museum (opened in late October 1997), it is located in a three-story, 3,173§³ building made of steel-reinforced concrete and wood.

The exterior reflects the traditional architectural style of Korea on the roofing and on the columns.  The front surface has a bronze panel that is engraved with 10 symbolic items along with the traditional patterns of lotus flowers and dried honeysuckles.  
On the side, there is a pattern of pine trees over the traditional lattice background.  The rear surface is decorated with the traditional patterns of lotus flowers and dried honeysuckles along with the face of a guardian spirit.  The inside walls are finished with 14 kinds of Korean lumber, including pine trees and gingko trees, to revive the traditional architectural style of Korea.
The museum includes the 1st Exhibition Room, 2nd Exhibtion Room, 3rd Exhibition Room, 4th Exhibition Room, 5th Exhibition Room, and Special Exhibition Room.
