Seoul Urban Life Museum has exhibitions on Seoul's scenery and everyday life, a children's experience room, and a special-exhibition hall. It suits visitors who want to focus on changes in urban life and everyday history.
Permanent exhibitions on the everyday lives of Seoul residents
The permanent exhibitions are divided into Seoul Scenery on the first floor, Seoul Living on the second floor, and Seoul's Dreams on the third floor, addressing the everyday lives of Seoul residents. The detention-cell exhibition room and the children's experience room, Ompang, have purposes and conditions distinct from the general permanent exhibitions.
Distinguishing general permanent exhibitions from children's and education programmes
Children's experience-room and education-reservation programmes operate separately from general visits. For a visit with children, check the reservation notice for the experience you want first.
