National Science Museum

The National Science Museum is a major institution in Daejeon that explores natural history, technology, astronomy, and biological sciences across multiple exhibition halls. Visitors encounter interactive displays and live demonstrations that show how scientific concepts work in practice.

The institution was founded in Seoul during 1926 and moved to Daejeon in 1990, positioned near the grounds of the Daejeon Expo 1993. This relocation marked a turning point when it became part of a major international scientific event.

The name reflects a mission to bring scientific knowledge to the public in engaging ways. You see here how science connects to everyday life and notice how research shapes the way people understand the world around them.

The museum is open daily except Mondays and days following holidays, making it easy to plan a visit around a regular schedule. Arriving in the morning gives you more time to explore the different sections at a comfortable pace.

The museum includes a dedicated Children's Science section with programs designed specifically for young visitors. Here children can explore scientific ideas through hands-on activities and games that match their way of learning.
