Nice museum in an easy access location. Should climb a bit up to the sarabong and watch sunset. Was a nice tour and can’t miss the beautiful huge orange trees by the entrance.

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.

Touring the museum didn’t take terribly long, maybe just over an hour or ...
