Korean Stone Art Museum

Exhibit inside was not great. They had a virtual vr experience which we did not have to wait too long for. It was worth waiting for. But the highlight of this place is the rock garden beginning from the fourth floor and leading outside. The admission price is high. Next time I would just walk to the rock garden for one of the most spectacular view of Seoul.

Inside the museum they have a 3 floor exhibition space but it is smaller than you could expect. You can buy the ticket to visit inside and outside for 10 000 won or only the beautiful garden outside fro 3000 won, where you can see all the stones. It is interesting but I was a bit disappointed because there are only a few explanations here and there and I wanted to know more about the history. Anyhow it is nice to visit the garden and there is a decent view from the rooftop.

My best day ever U guys must visit here You can not go there by walk Enter fee is only 3 dollars

This is a beautiful museum to visit. Situated outside of major tourist paths, the place offers not only an interesting exhibition of stone art but also a beautiful view on Seoul and a quire surroundings. Also, I recommend visit a Buddhist temple nearby.

Good starting place to learn something about Korea stone sculptures, or at least know culturally what the stone sculptures are used for. After a brief tour, now I knew a bit about Muninseok, Beoksu and Dongja sculptures. Out of the museum building, there were more sculptures in the garden. A lot to see. The museum has also worked with Google Map to enable anyone to 'street view' the exhibits in their garden as they wish to expose the museum to more people locally and overseas. It is also interesting to learn how the museum was started. It was started by a successful businessman (also the Chairman of the museum) who is nationalistic and determined to keep Korean stone sculptures which some are national assets from being taken out of the country. He also managed to buy back some from overseas collectors and bring them back home. This museum is newly relocated from the old one. He has chosen Seoul, perhaps more metropolitan - having potentially larger audience, both local and tourists, to expose the cultural stories behind all these stone sculptures.

It was a special place I had never experienced. The exhibition was good, but the description was especially good. Many historic stone relics of Korea are exhibited and the outdoor exhibition is so beautiful

has a very nice cafe and views and lots of sculptures of protector carved stones. i recommend taking a cab here

Great history, great totem exhibitions! The Korean Stone History Museum is 10 minutes from the main grand palace located in northern Seoul. Hidden away in the hills, it's an excellent hibition of different styles of stone art the spans centuries. The price of admission is reasonable, $10USD for 1 year or $7USD for the day. There are displays indoors and a peaceful, zen-like winding outdoor path that displays artistic renderings all with explanations.
