People can feel the Korean overall vibe, which has been developing lately. I visited in weekday, there are rarely individuals.

Amazing museum displaying the vast history of Korea. Reminds me of the Smithsonian in DC. Expansive, amazing curated experience and all free.

This is a must-do! Try and catch a free guided tour--you will learn more about the history of Korea than you ever thought you would. With the guide, we learned the history of how Korea got to be where it is today (obviously with a Korean narrative), but it really helped pull together a timeline of the history we had seen at other museums. There are beautiful artifacts and displays that cannot be missed. My favorite were the intact pots/vases-- so stunning! I also liked the map of Seoul that lit up with a show.

Amazing massive free museum that is super impressively setup. Lots of exhibits and English translations for most written descriptions. There is a massive replica of Seoul where you can direct spot lights to highlight different parts of the city. Easily spend a few hours here.
