Why go
Gwangju National Science Museum is the southwestern Korea regional branch of the National Science Museum network, with permanent halls covering basic physics-chemistry-biology, regional geological and ecological context (the Yeongsangang river basin, Mudeungsan volcanic geology), Korean traditional science (Gwangju-area Joseon-era astronomical observations and weather monitoring), and modern science-and-technology development. The on-site planetarium and 4D theater run scheduled shows daily, and a substantial outdoor exhibition area includes interactive scientific installations. Free entry to indoor halls (planetarium and theater ticketed). Allow about 3 hours. Pair with the broader Gwangju cultural attractions like the Asia Culture Center.
