Gwacheon National Science Museum, Science museum in Gwacheon, South Korea.

The Gwacheon National Science Museum is a science institution with multiple exhibition halls covering different disciplines. The spaces address basic science, advanced technology, natural history, and traditional Korean science, plus dedicated areas for children.

The museum was established in 2008 and quickly became a key educational institution for science in South Korea. It was created to make scientific knowledge accessible to the broader public.

The Hall of Fame showcases Korean scientists like Jang Yeong-sil and Heo Jun, displaying their contributions to science. Visitors see how these figures shaped scientific thinking in the region.

The site is large, so it makes sense to plan time for exploring different exhibition areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and structure their visit to see the main sections across a full day.

The main building design resembles a futuristic flying object. The grounds also feature a planetarium, observatory, and insectarium that extend the experience.
