A museum devoted to the Korean alphabet, right beside the National Museum of Korea. Models, short films and old printed books tell how King Sejong's script was made and how people used it over the centuries. The permanent exhibition is free. Kids tend to stay a long time at the hands-on corners. It pairs easily with the National Museum for a full day.
