    Great find by my wife in bottom of office building. Free museum with Jeoson Dynasty archeology site. Great signage in English and Korean with several nice displays and interactive displays especially for kids. Much larger than it initially seems.

    Had a quiet walk through this museum by myself and enjoyed it a lot. It’s a big space with not a lot of people, so good for a break from the busy streets of Seoul. Restroom facilities were very clean and wheelchair accessible. I would have liked to see a bit more interactive exhibits, but it’s free and worth a visit if you are at all interested in history and archeology. I recommend visiting the coffee shop (Gyeol) next to the museum entrance on street level before or after your visit.
