Seodaemun Museum of Natural History is the first-ever museum of natural history to be established by a public agency. The museum offers children an opportunity to experience and learn about the environment and shows how to preserve the earth’s natural beauty. Seodaemun Museum of Natural History holds exhibits year round and has over 100 open-run programs. It has become a popular fieldtrip destination for teens, a cultural space for residents, and a leisure space for family visitors. Many Asian countries even send representative to the museum to learn from its success.
Every floor of the museum has a theme, making it a little easier for visitors to find their way around. The first floor runs under the theme ‘Beautiful Seoul, Harmony between Nature and Human’ and houses a library of natural history, a dinosaur lounge, virtual reality room, aquarium, and visual aid lab. The second floor (‘The Origin and Evolution of Life and its Diversity’) shows the origin of life, the world of the dinosaurs in the Mesozoic Era, the origin of humans, a diversity of land and marine life, and a variety of endangered species. On the 3rd floor, visitors can explore the process of how the earth was created, which culminates in an exhibit on how the Korean Peninsula looks today. On the same floor, dramatically enhanced exhibitions lay open the mysteries of the solar system and explain natural phenomenon such as earthquakes and the creation of caves and rock formations.
