Why go

Korea Manhwa Museum is a public institutional museum in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do, dedicated to manhwa — Korean comics — as a cultural-and-artistic medium. The museum walks visitors through the history of Korean comic-book art from its early-20th-century beginnings through the post-Korean-War golden age, the late-20th-century rental-comic-book culture (manhwa-bang), the contemporary webtoon revolution that has made Korean digital comics globally significant, and the broader cultural-and-artistic role of manhwa in Korean popular culture. Period comic-book displays, archival artist materials, hands-on interactive exhibits, and supporting cultural-program facilities anchor the museum. The Bucheon location reflects the city's broader identity as a Korean comic-and-content cultural cluster. Best paired with broader Bucheon-area itineraries.
