There are 3 branches in Korea. Deoksugung(덕수궁관), Seoul(서울관), and Gwacheon(과천관). The Seoul branch is located in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu at the former site of the Defense Security Command. It was built in 2013.

oul) is built with a modern design but you can also meet nature here. The museum is shady, cool, and pleasant with many tall green trees and grass. 

The courtyard used to present many exhibition too. Sadly, there was none when I went :((( The courtyard was once full of Panda figures during the Panda Exhibition! 

The facilities inside the museum is really modern. Even the stair is made artistically(*O*)!

This is one of the art exhibition during the time when I went there. It is the use of color light bulbs and electrical fans. It is moving as an electrical fans and the colors will shine out in a circular way around the room as the electrical fans move.

This one is usually a room full of art paints and one side of the room is a projector displaying the moving art picture. People usually take picture with it as a shadow!~ ;)

And for this one, it is once again a projector. You can type what you want to on the notebook provided and it will show up on the wall of the room! :))))
