The free city-history museum, how a Joseon capital became a 10-million metropolis.
A free museum telling the story of Seoul itself, from the Joseon capital of Hanyang to the modern megacity.
The star is a giant scale model of the city you walk around, plus restored streetscapes and old trams outside.
Well-translated and rarely crowded.
A short walk from Gyeongbokgung and the Gyeonghuigung palace grounds.
