This is one of the best museums in Korea. Shouldn't be missed if you visit Seoul. - The location is close from metro Gyeongbokgung Station(line #3) and within the area of Gyeongbokgung Palace. However, like most other national museums, the admission is free. - Starting from 2nd floor, it leads to 1st floor and B1F. - There are royal treasures, clothes, publications, inventions, etc. - Enough seats in the middle. No need to be afraid of getting exhausted in the way. - The souvenir shop has fine products. Some of them are even affordable. A café is also awesome. I definitely recommend stopping by these two at the end.…

It is located within Gyeongbokgung Palace. Entrance is free. Inside the museum, you can collect beautiful stamps. A brief history about the past Korea. A lot of exhibition changing from time to time. Make sure to come here when you are in Seoul.

This museum is in the grounds of Gyeonbokgung palace and is a great place to get a bit more understanding about the Joseon dynasties - especially if you didn't have guided tour of the palace. Just the right size to be interesting but not bombard you with too much information.

I arrived at the Gyeongbokgung Palace at 0930hr, too early to witness the changing of royal guards ceremony at 1000hr, Hence I decided to visit this nearby museum first. There are free digital locker to store my backpack. This museum displays royal relics from the Joseon Dynasty. There are many exhibition halls, with each hall displaying exhibits of Kings of the Joseon Dynasty, Joseon Palaces, Royal Court Life, Korean Empire, Astronomy & Science Hall Ⅰ, Royal Court Paintings, Jongmyo, the Royal Ancestral Shrine, Royal Court Music, Royal Procession, Astronomy & Science Hall Ⅱ. After visiting the museum, I have a better understanding of the King’s life during that era. Admission is free with toilet facilities and seats for resting.…
