Why it matters now

The Seoul Museum of History's official annex guide distinguishes Monday–Thursday and Friday–Saturday opening hours, Sunday closure and free admission. The exhibition may be visited until 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, but is normally closed Sundays, so check the weekday before setting out.

Why go

Discover an archaeological layer of central Seoul inside City Hall, through the history of the Joseon-era Gungisi site. This is not the main Seoul Museum of History building; head to the exhibition on B1 of City Hall. Free admission and nearby subway stops make it a convenient short historical stop. Ask the operator about guided or group visits and any restricted sections.
