It's a goods museum for those of us who are interested in history and others interested in politics. I went there yesterday and I would recommend it, especially because it is very close to Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbok Palace. I wanted to post something about it because it's new, so many may not know about it, plus almost all of the information about it is in Korean.

Introduction

The newly opened Cheongwadae Sarangchae, which opened to the public on January 5th, 2010, is a history center that gives visitors a chance to follow in the footsteps of presidents of Korea and gain insight into the history of Seoul.

On the first floor is the Korea Center, which presents the Korean UNESCO World Heritage Sites and items in the Memory of the World Register. The Hi Seoul Center introduces major tourist attractions, famous restaurants, festivals, Seoul history and, of course, the famous Hangang River. On the second floor is Presidential Center where visitors can about the presidents of Korea. A mock presidential office is set up so visitors can take photos of themselves and pretend to be a Korean president. Guests can also learn about climate change at the Green Growth Center and catch a sneak peak of the G20 summit with the G20 Lounge on the 2nd floor.

The Cheongwadae Sarangchae encompasses the past, present and even the future of Seoul as well as the entire nation. It serves as a tourist information center that offers detailed information on World Cultural Heritage sites and assets.

Sarangbang is also an exhibition center where a diverse display of artwork is displayed. There is a Korean traditional craft atelier and special exhibition center that presents items such as children�s work and public campaign ads.

The center is open from 9 am to 6 pm, with no reservations required. Please note that the center is closed Mondays.
