Old Korean Legation Museum, 19th-century diplomatic building in Logan Circle, Washington DC, United States.
The three-story Victorian structure features formal reception halls, diplomatic quarters, and exhibition spaces spread across 4,600 square feet.
The Korean government purchased this residence in 1889 for $25,000, establishing their first diplomatic mission to the United States until Japan seized control in 1905.
The museum displays diplomatic artifacts, traditional Korean furniture, and historical photographs documenting early Korean-American relations from the Joseon period.
The museum maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday through Saturday, with guided tours available in English and Korean languages.
The building contains an exact reproduction of the formal dining room where Korean diplomats conducted negotiations with American officials between 1889 and 1905.
