Traveler reviews
Lojain
★★★★★a year agoQuiet, modern museum in Gangnam with eye catching, kinetic exhibitions. I loved the Tape-Tube Seoul exhibition, it was vibrant, interactive, and full of motion. The whole space is well-designed and not too crowded. A bit pricey, but totally worth it for the experience, note that each exhibit costs around ₩22K and you move along at preset intervals. Worth it for contemporary art lovers.

★★★★★3 years agoWe did the Tube Seoul Experience. It was a lot of fun but you only get given 15 mins to do it in. This was enough time for us. There are lockers available on site.
