  • Nice enough museum. It's free and you don't need an awful lot of time to get through and it has a neat little shop as well.

  • The whole experience was amazing. One of the nicest history museums I've ever been to. You can just tell the amount of investment that went into this. Can hands down recommend to anybody. Would go as far as call this a must do when in Seoul. It's right next to the palace anyhow.
  • It is a must visit if you love art and history. The place itself is very photogenic. Loved the permanent museum installations. A lot of displays about Korean history and culture. Loved it so much.
