Seodaemun Museum of Natural History

The Seodaemun Museum of Natural History contains more than 1,000 specimens of preserved plants, taxidermied animals, and geological samples from across the Korean peninsula.

Established in 2003 following six years of planning, the museum emerged as a response to environmental concerns stemming from rapid industrialization in South Korea.

The museum exhibits connect natural history with Korean environmental heritage through educational programs that emphasize local species and geological formations.

Located at 51 Yeonhui-ro 32-gil in Seoul, the museum maintains regular operating hours and provides both parking facilities and public transportation access.

The museum houses an extensive collection of dinosaur skeletons and conducts research initiatives focusing on regional paleontological discoveries.
