Nice museum with interesting things to look at and interact with but only ¼ of the text was in English so I missed out on a lot. The basic most important stuff was in English so I was not confused and I understood the main points, but the nuances that I was hoping to better understand by coming here were lost on me. I would not visit again and would not really recommend to anyone. But that is also partly due to personal bias, I do prefer ancient history to modern history in general. The full room of projectors showing history of advertising was very very well done and that’s why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 3.

Must visit the rooftop, you can see great view of Gyeongbokgung Palace. The Museum is free of charge. Should visit if you have free time.

A must see to understand South Korea’s history and trajectory into the 21st century. Jam packed with information regarding centuries of different rules and its effects on modern South Korean society. Plan on 90-120 minutes to listen to each exhibit’s description.

The museum has a lot of information to deliver. We got a one hour lecture by Fabien yoon who describes us everything. So we quite enjoyed and learned about korean history. The view of Gyeongbokgung palace from the rooftop of the museum is just breathtaking!!

National Museum of Korean Contemporary History is situated next to a U.S. embassy not by a coincidence, but strategically due to the ROK-U.S. Alliance. The history of this alliance is one of the exhibitions called "동행 Journey Together" that you can see here until March. The permanent exhibitions are focusing on Korean history, from Japanese occupation until the present day. There's children's museum and also corner for different activities mainly for kids and teens. The entry is free, so you have nothing to lose by visiting!

Free museum with fun interactive exhibitions, lovely kids section, with a playroom and a kids library and some arts and crafts. The AC was welcome in the heat and it was interesting to walk around the different floors which each had there own period of recent history.

A nice museum that show case Korean history and art. Try out the interactive tools to create your own comic strips. Don’t miss the amazing view of the Gyeongbokgung Palace from the rooftop.

This excellent museum is totally free. The main exhibition is on one floor and gives a very useful introduction to Korean modern history, with the focus being from the late 1800s to the present day. There is a lot of signage in English.

It was really nice. You can have a free guided tour. You re gonna make a fantastic trip through the korean history. The museum is free. You have to pay online if you want to visit an extra exibition.

Great museum and best of all it’s FREE! Some great videos on display and good background on how Korea became what it is today. Some English as well however a little more English signage would’ve been ideal but that’s OK. It’s free and a nice place to spend some time.

Great history of Korea. Good to learn it. We forget about the recent war.

You can see the history of Korea. Especially you should see the modern history in the 4th floor.

This is a fantastic museum for those that are interested in contemporary Korean history (18xx-now). It's free, yup, free. They even have self guided tours available in English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Those machines are great and it automatically jumps to different sections of the exhibit. Great attraction for all tourists and locals!

(Translated by Google) Gwanghwamun Plaza Avenue, across from the Government Complex, Also, it is located next to the US Embassy. It doesn't seem like a big museum as its name suggests. It is on the 8th floor, of which you can see the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors. The 8th floor has a roof garden. There is a shop on the 4th floor You can buy souvenirs, and a tricycle is displayed in the hallway. There is. You can see the history of modern and contemporary Korea Unlike museums focused on ancient history When I was young looking at the exhibits touching my skin Memories, events, accidents and events related records can be viewed There are more intimacy and reminiscent memories a lot. I think it's worth visiting at least once♡ (Original) 광화문 광장 대로변, 정부종합청사 맞은편, 그리고, 미대사관 옆에 위치해 있습니다. 이름처럼 큰박물관은 아닌듯 합니다. 8층인데 이중 3,4,5층을 볼 수 있는 곳이며 8층은 옥상정원이 있습니다. 4층은 샵이 있어 기념품을 살수 있이며, 복도에 삼륜차가 전시되어 있습니다. 근현대 대한민국의 역사들을 볼 수 있어 고대역사 위주의 박물관과는 다르게 피부에 와 닿는 전시물을 보고 어렸을적 추억과 사건, 사고 행사관련기록물을 볼수 있어 더 친근감과 회상할수 있는 추억기록물이 많습니다. 한번쯤 가 볼 만한 곳이라고 생각합니다♡

(Translated by Google) The first floor is a space for children (minimuseum, library), and there is a history museum from the second floor. You can go to each floor by following the instructions written on the floor, and there is a safety officer on each floor to restrain children from running around and making noise, so you can tour in a quiet atmosphere. There is a feeling that the content only exhibited important elements rather than rich, perhaps because of the constraints of the place, but there is no feeling that it is insufficient. There is a museum parking lot and there are not a few parking spaces for parking, but on weekends, there are many people who park in the museum and go to the neighborhood, so it is better to use the public parking lot opposite. (Original) 1층은 유아들을 위한 공간(미니 박물관, 도서관)이고, 2층부터 역사박물관이 있음. 매 층마다 바닥에 쓰여있는 안내글을 따라 이동하면 되고, 각 층에 안전담당자가 있어 뛰어다니거나 시끄럽게 떠드는 아이들을 제지하여 주기 때문에 조용한 분위기에서 견학이 가능함. 컨텐츠는 장소의 제약 때문인지 풍부하기보다 중요한 요소만을 전시하였다는 느낌이 드나, 모자라다는 느낌은 없음. 주차는 박물관 주차장이 있고 주차면도 적지 않으나, 주말에는 박물관에 주차하고 인근으로 놀러가는 사람이 많아 맞은편 공영주차장을 이용하는 것이 좋음

(Translated by Google) It is good to go with your children, and if you are interested in modern and contemporary history, it is a place to be satisfied. Actually, if you are a Korean citizen, it is recommended to visit at least once. I could feel the grandeur from the historical relics and originals You can feel nostalgia in old items since the 60s (Original) 자녀와 함께가도 좋고 근현대사역사에 관심있다면 만족해할만한 곳입니다 실은 우리나라 국민이면 한번쯤가보는것을 추천합니다 역사적인 유물과 원본에서 웅장함을 느낄수있었으며 60년대 이후 오래된 물품에서 향수를 느낄수있습니다

(Translated by Google) As a museum that exhibits and records the history of Korea, it is a place that is praised by many people. Currently, documents such as photos of the May 18 Democratization Movement are on display. Even in the days of the Park Geun-hye administration in 2015, it received a lot of applause by holding a photo exhibition under the title of'Road of Democratization in Korea' with photos such as the 4.19, 5.18, and 6.10 Uprising. (Original) 대한민국의 역사를 전시하고 기록해둔 박물관으로 많은분들로부터 칭송을 받는 곳입니다. 지금은 5.18 민주화운동 사진 등 기록물을 전시하고 있습니다. 2015년 박근혜 정부시절인데도 4.19, 5.18, 6.10항쟁 등 사진으로 '대한민국 민주화의 길 ' 이란 제목으로 사진전시회를 가져 많은 박수를 받기도 했습니다.

(Translated by Google) There are so many museums in Korea. If you are interested in modern and contemporary history, it would be nice to visit. There is a place with a nice view on the 5th floor, so be sure to stop by.

(Translated by Google) It's not a place to go to this place from afar, but if you went on a trip to Gwanghwamun with your child, talk about the history, visit Gwanghwamun, and take a break here. There is also a VR experience and it is okay. There are some regrets that I would like to see more things to see. (Original) 멀리서 이곳까지 찾아갈곳은 아니지만 아이와 함께 광화문 나들이 가셨다면 역사 이야기도 나누고 광화문 구경하다 이곳에서 쉬는 시간도 가질겸 둘러보세요. VR체험도 있고 괜찮습니다. 좀더 볼거리가 풍성했으면하는 아쉬움이 좀 있긴합니다.

Great learning & eye opening experience, and it's free entry! I went in with 50min left not knowing it closed at 6pm that day, so I unfortunately had to really zip through :(. Also includes a section about Jeju Island.

"Some day when the long-awaited dream of reunification becomes reality, this too will be recorded within these walls" - this hopeful and powerful aspiration was written on the plaque. Enjoyed the 2 hours I was there where I had a better appreciation of this Asian Tiger/Dragon rose to become the modern economy it is today!

A very good atmospheric place. You can learn a lot about history and culture of Korea, about its Emperors and their life. English signs will help foreigners to understand what it is written in the exhibition hall. Got acquainted with lots of new information. Will visit it again next time.

This is the perfect museum for learning about the rich history of Korea, especially between North and South. It is extremely thorough and well payed out so it’s never confusing what you should look at next. From the first floor to the top it goes in a timeline. It also gives a great view points from South Korea which I had never been exposed to and I think most of the western world is not exposed to.

This is a good museum to visit to learn about recent Korean history and it's free to visit.

One of best free view on the top floor!

I really liked the museum! However I thought only the 5th floor was actually interesting. In my opinion there was way too few English translations. So much content, that I couldn’t understand because there was no translation. Visit the rooftop on the 8th floor tho! Great views!! 👍🏼👍🏼

The only interesting thing I found in this "museum" was the Kia T-600, the last three-wheeled vehicle produced in South Korea in 1969 (thank wikipedia). No I'm kidding... I noticed that the exhibits were mainly presented in Korean, as a foreigner and not mastering this language, it's was a bit difficult for me to follow and get interested. Other than that, it's a nice building and the entrance is free...

All museums in Korea are well organized, lots of informations, with interesting exhibits, where you can experience and learn about korea history and cultures. This is one of the best museums here in seoul. Recommended.

Very interesting place to visit and learn so much about Korean History. Exhibition isn’t to big. Takes around one hour. They offer also exhibition area for children. Worth a visit!

You should go up to the roof garden of this museum to see the majestic view to the Gyeongbok Palace and the mountains that surround it. It is a pity that there is no Café on this roof garden. Worth try to take the elevator to 8th floor.

Perfect place to widen a view of Seoul Autumn. Walking along the street, shooting some pictures and feel so chilling.

It's really quiet here. Just a few foreigners around. The second floor donation hall and history museum focus on the US-Korea relations and the Korean War. They exhibit military boots and other war materials. Didn't feel anything special, kinda getting vibes of nationalism and conservatism. -BOFF

Very well prepared individual floors of the museum. Korean history based on many archival documents. Time passes slowly during the tour, but when you leave the Museum, your knowledge of Korean history is much greater than before

As an ARMY, discovering BTS stuffs there was a super plus. However, despite super clean and chic design of the building, the historical material seemed insufficient. The children's coner was especially lack of historical information. The light show outside of the museum was GREAT.

Beautiful Korea is Amazing

Worth a visit. A good insight to the history of this beautiful country. Easy to find as its across the wide road from the Palace

Great timeline of Korean history. Some floors were under construction when I was there.

I was recommended to go here by a local. If not only for the rooftop view over Gyeonbokgung palace. The museum itself is really worth a visit. One of the floors were closed for renovation when I was there, but you can't really complain when it's free. The staff on each floor is super friendly too.

A very nice museum to witness what Koreans have gone through in the recent centuries. No entrance fee, clean toilets, English translation for the most illustrations, but not all.

(Translated by Google) There are several museums in downtown Seoul. The role of this museum of Korean history is to discuss the modern Korean government. Shape the meaning of the government of the Republic of Korea and rationalize the symbolism of democracy and freedom. There are several museums in Seoul, all of which are similar. In short, starting from Lee Seung-wan’s South Korea, it must be said that there was a war with North Korea. As we all know, the United Nations forces, dominated by the United States, landed in Incheon. On the other side, the republics help each other. Finally, the two sides agreed on the 38-degree line as the midline. These museums in South Korea place great emphasis on the involvement of the United Nations, the world’s salvation, and support for South Korea. Such an argument certainly has a tilt effect. In the history museum, the most important thing is the government transformation of the Republic of Korea. Even if you don't understand Korean, you can know what he is going to say through the sound and light effects, and the meaning of the exhibits is very clear. Many displays. These museums have the same meaning, which is the victory of democracy and the victory of freedom. (Original) 首爾市區有好幾個博物館，這間大韓民國歷史博物館的作用是論述現代韓國政府。塑造大韓民國政府的意義，把民主、自由的象徵性合理化。首爾好幾家博物館，都差不多，總之從李承宛的韓國說起，必須說道與朝鮮之間發生戰爭。眾所周知，後來以美國為主的聯合國部隊在仁川登陸。另一邊，共和國之間互助。最後雙方協議38度線做為中線。南韓的這幾個博物館非常強調聯合國介入，強調世界拯救、支持了南韓。這樣的論述當然有傾斜效果。而歷史博物館這裡，最強調的是大韓民國政府轉型。即使不懂韓文，也可以通過聲光效果知道他要說什麼，展示品也意義很清楚。很多展示。這些博物館意思都差不多，就是民主的勝利，自由的勝利。

Well organized museum to understand modern history of Korea. Tip: View from the rooftop is amazing. You can see Gyeongbokgung Palace and Cheong Wa Dae

There's a really good comprehensive summary of Korea's modern history, struggle for independence/democracy and subsequent economic and cultural boom. Quite a bit in English but also a lot in Korean only. You're able to get an overview at least!

Not big but it is a good place to learn Korea's contemporary history.

Is not that interesting to visit. Since is free is fine to have a look after visiting other things first

Short but understandable historical story from 1870 to until. English GID have.

Interesting exhibitions from the late 1800s to today. Combine with a visit to the National Museum of Korean History, and you'll get a good coverage of Korean history.

An interest permanent history exhibit of Korea from approximately 1894 to present. Most explanations have English versions. View from top floor are great

This is a super, comprehensive exhibition of the modern history of Korea! It’s spread across multiple floors and you get an in-depth understanding of so many aspects of this amazing country. You need a solid few hours to cover the collection in detail so make sure you find the time to do so :)

So informative. I'm visiting Seoul for a month, doing a study abroad program through school and loved that I got to learn more about Korean culture and the history of the country. View from the roof is gorgeous.

Excellent museum that is free to visit. Worth the time no matter. Close to other locations in Seoul such as palace. Lots of interesting modern history.

The intro to each section of the special exhibition, "The Country They Have All Dreamed Of," was written in English, but individual pieces were Korean only, so it was hard to figure out the importance of a lot of the items on display. Seemed like an interesting topic tho. Maybe the permanent exhibitions are translated. It was still cool to sit in a pod and listen to Korean songs from 40s and watch an old film clip.

I wasn't sure what to expect (the name of museum doesn't sound interesting) but we spent whole afternoon there!

Interesting museum. Enough English signage to get the main idea of the history.

A good and highly descriptive museum about Korean history.

small and more on the history of Korean people, life and culture

Takes about an hour to an hour and a half to see everything. Little interactive with screens and user interaction. Good for kids. Not much is translated in English though.

Interesting museum, albeit a bit strange. If you have kids who speak/read Korean, this museum is definitely 5-stars. The first few floors have so many interactive exhibits (though very few of them are in English) and the kids seemed to be having an absolute blast playing with them. If you aren't coming with children and/or don't speak much Korean, the top floor is the place for you. There it gives a pretty good history of Korea, from the early 1900's until today. Most of the history exhibits have some English translations, but the actual pieces from the collection rarely had anything but Korean explanations. It's free to visit, so it's still worth stopping by for a half hour or so, but if you have Korean kids, this museum would be fantastic

Our regret was not planning for a full day visit to South Korea’s largest museum. We have to come back again to view the 300K+ artifacts. From the three choices, we chose to lunch at Pagoda Restaurant (ask for menu in English) within the main exhibit hall. Bibimbap comes with a good serving of beef. The museum is located right off Ichon Station (Line 4). On our return, we had to call our hotel for assistance to book a cab as the taxis didn’t show up at the taxi stand.

Small but charming museum covering Korea’s modern history. A variety of different exhibitions of varying interest / interactivity. Not all galleries / exhibits are translated into English.

A very interesting museum showing the history of modern South Korea with interactive exhibits.

This has to be one of the best museums in Korea. Many different exhibits. Interactive exhibition on Korea advertising is interesting in both content and presentation. Special exhibition on consumer savings (Mok don) is very well curated. Showed different dimensions of money. I get to teach my kids using this exhibition.👍 Main exhibition on Korean history showed foreigners like myself how hard Koreans had to work together to gain independence and to become one of the leading economies of the world. Salute! There is also an exhibition on intergenerational communications. Good interactive exhibits. Highly recommend anyone to spend a good time here.

Great museum covering 20th century Korean history. Really great selection of objects. However, only a few informative panels are in English -- though each artifact has an English title. Great museum if you just want a brief overview, can take 30 min to 1 hour. Don't miss the wonderful view of the palace from the resting room on the 5th floor. Free.

Great free museum about the modern history of South Korea, their alliance with the USA, the Korean war by the UN, etc. There is a section about financial product in South Korea, overall a lot of documents, everything is clean and well explained, but you'll need to translate some stuff with Papago because not everything is in English. Overall it takes ~1h30 to fully visit

It is very interesting and had a lot of interactive things. Some allow to print and even take pictures and print too. It is great for foreigners because almost everything has the English translation. It also has a great view of the recent historical excavation and the palace

Went on a national holiday which is usually means it'll be busy but it wasn't too bad. The cable cart employees were very helpful and happily guide you to where you need to go. Managed to go at sunset which made photos even better. Don't wait for the elevator before the cable cart and walk up instead. Also unsure how long the hike is and didn't attempt as wanted to try the cable cart. Bought tickets via klook and need to pick these up before getting on cable cart.
