MUSEUM
SEOUL MUSEUM OF HISTORY
To gain an appreciation of just how much Seoul has changed in the last century visit this
fascinating museum, which has made a big effort to upgrade its displays. Outside you can
see one of the old tram cars that used to run in the city in the 1930s as well as a section of
the old Gwanghwamun gate. Inside there's a massive scale model of the city you can walk
around, which includes future development projects such as the Yongsan International
Business Development District. There may be charges for special exhibitions. Classical
music concerts are sometimes staged here and there's an excellent neo-Korean restaurant
called Congdu.
