광주역사민속박물관

Fantastic free guided tour if you go on a Saturday you might be lucky enough to meet Mr.Park :)

The building needs some update as it does not have a lift to go upstairs. They provide wheelchairs and prams for your convenience. I used a pram provided with my ID card submittion. Please do not forget to take your ID back when you return. They also provide a locker to put your stuff in when inserting 100 won coin which is returnable. I love hospitality from staff. It was good enough to show my daughter about Korean folk tradition.

OK museum but very few English signs. The museum is free and worth a quick visit if in the park as there are a few interesting displays. However, it is not worth going out of your way to come here unless you know Korean.

See posting for Gwangju Museum of Art. All in all, tells the story of Korea's rich, vibrant culture and history. Free entry.

Nice place which explains the history and culture. Unique place

An excellent museum with life-like models and the authorities allow taking photos of the artefacts. Very few tourist places with English (bilingual) boards and also a detailed illustrated booklet about the artefacts. The staff is very courteous though nine can speak a word of English . The best part is that the entry is free.

The exhibits feature quite a bit of Korean history, but are a bit heavy on mannequin dioramas. It is free, and the park around the museum offers an interesting stroll.

Renovated until November 1st 2019!
