Chamsori Gramophone Museum and Edison Science Museum

10 out of 10. If you like off-beat museums and a lot of artifacts this museum is the place. For the modest price of about $10 USD you can explore two expansive museums. There is the Edison Gramophone museum and the Movie/cinema museum. They were curated by one man who simply loves Edison and movies. It’s amazing. Definitely worth a side-trip. You can make it through both museums in about 45 minutes, but to fully experience plan about 2 hours. Some staff speak English, but most do not. So either speak a little Korean or have good translation apps. The one downside is that photos aren’t allowed in the museums except in specific locations.

Amazing place! Must visit! Really huge and unique collection of almost everything! Starting from electric car from 1913 to huge! number of unique old things! i hope it will become National museum one day.

Edison Science Museum + Charmsori Music Museum + Gangneung Film Museum First stop on the tour was the Edison Science Museum, where I delved into the world of scientific discovery and innovation. The museum's interactive exhibits and educational displays brought to life the incredible inventions and contributions of Thomas Edison, offering a glimpse into the marvels of electricity, telecommunication, and technology. Next, I stepped into the Charmsori Music Museum, a hidden gem celebrating the artistry and cultural heritage of traditional Korean musical instruments. The knowledgeable guides provided insightful demonstrations, allowing me to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and the soul-stirring melodies produced by these instruments. Concluding the tour was the Gangneung Film Museum, a treasure trove of cinematic history and creativity. The museum's dedication to preserving and promoting the film industry was evident throughout.

I was pleasantly suprised with my visit to this set of museums. The collection of grammaphones, edison inventions and film material is very large and interesting to see. The staff is very friendly and most of them speak english. One staff member even demonstrated a grammaphone, which was very cool. The price is 15000w for 3 musea and it is definetely worth it. Would recommend

An amazing museum that will take all day to look at every item! There are so many gramophones and Edison products! Great place for any history lover!

I was so much overwhelmed by their enormous collections. You would not believe how many kinds of collections they own as well as valuables goods. I also enjoyed to watch musical movies & music concert films

Verry nice museum. The history of the evolution of modern technology is so interesting to see. Also the film museum next door is a part of it . It brings old memories alive. It's definitely a visit worth. Not to mention that there are even Dutch articles 😉

Huge collection of old gramophones, never seen before artefacts. Next door is the museum of film and it was very interesting to see the large collection of film collectibles
