★★★★★a year agoThis is a great museum. We got there late and spent the two hours we had on the second floor. Each of the three floors offer specific themes. The museum is on the grounds include a children’s museum, Korean National Museum, museum exhibit hall for Special Exhibition, a wonderful picnic area, restaurants, and spectacular gardens. You could easily spend a whole day there. I go there a couple times a week to use their walking paths and outdoor exercise equipment.

★★★★★2 years agoExcellent museum with wide range of artifacts both historical n cultural. Ranging through the various dynasties n through the modern era of Korean history, inclusive of the earliest findings of Buddhist artifacts n pottery, iron wares etc. Be ready to spend a good 3-4 hours n many exhibits are interactive n informative. Costs as with all Korean museums are almost negligible 👍 highly recommended for a first class modern n well designed museum.
