Why it matters now

The museum's official schedule states March–October 09:00–18:00 (ticket sales until 17:30), changing in November to 09:00–17:30 (ticket sales until 17:00) for winter. The operator lists weekends and public holidays as days closed; do not plan a weekend visit assuming it will open.

Why go

Visitors interested in the creation of Hangeul and Joseon history can explore distinct exhibition rooms on King Sejong's life, the Korean writing system, science and special exhibits. This museum in Cheongnyangni-dong is not the attraction by King Sejong's statue in Gwanghwamun Square.
