We quickly went in here after spending a lot of time at the Gyeongbokgung palace. There is just a lot of stuff in here and it wasn’t that interesting to us at that point. If you are an antique buff then this could be right up your alley! Not to us after spending a lot of time at the palace.

I visited this museum as part of a City tour, spent 45 minutes there and could have easily spent all day in and around the museum. It is in a relatively modern building, laid out really well and I spent all of my time in the Korean historical section. Most of the displays are described in Korean and English. Interestingly, a significant number of Korean visitors were dressed in national costume, a regular practice, apparently.
