Amazing exhibition with digital experiences

Nice little museum that shows off the history of Jeju Island. It has a very nice interior section, but it also has an outdoor section and areas to walk around and see as well, which was nice. It also holds many artifacts that are cool to look at if you're into those kinds of things as well.

Great stop for a rainy day. It’s not huge, a couple of hours tops will do. It is beautifully laid out and spacious. There is also a kids museum section, we didn’t go in but it looked like the kids were having fun.
There is also a lovely immersive room downstairs where it’s nice to sit back and enjoy the sights of Jeju!
It’s also free. If you are teavelling by bus, the bus stops right outside.

Totale Empfehlung!! Die Dauerausstellung ist wirklich interessant mit vielen Artefakten und Visualisierungen. Vor allem der „immersive“ Raum ist wahnsinnig gut gemacht, man kann richtig in die Geschichte von Jeju abtauchen. Es gibt einen Wasserautomaten, saubere Toiletten, eine Dachterrasse usw. und das alles kostenlos.

An interesting but small exhibition on the history of Jeju. Within the exhibition, they have several timelines of world history, I enjoyed this context in which the development of Jeju can be put into context of the politics and developments of the world around it.
Some nice views of the surrounding area from the roof as well.

On the smaller side of museums, especially for one being a national museum. That said, it was beautifully displayed with well written information placards, written in Korean, Chinese, and English.

Admission was free to the permanent exposition. I also appreciated the free storage lockers available near the museum entrance.

Touring the museum didn’t take terribly long, maybe just over an hour or so depending on how closely you wanted to look at everything. I’d budget 1-2 hours to knock it out.

Since it was a rainy day, my friends and I decided to visit the Jeju National Museum as an indoor activity. If you're someone who enjoys museums and history, then this place is definitely worth a visit. We learned so much about the history of Jeju Island and it was really interesting to see all of the exhibits and artifacts on display. Overall, we had a great time at the museum and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an indoor activity on a rainy day.

Can't believe this was free! Amazing little museum that teaches about the significance of Jeju Island in korean history. Highly recommend for a short 1 hour visit
