Why go

Chonnam National University Medical Museum (former main building of Chonnam National University Medical School) is a public institutional museum in Gwangju dedicated to the history of medical education and practice in the Honam region — particularly the long history of Chonnam National University Medical School. The museum is housed in the preserved former main building of the medical school, which is itself a registered modern cultural property reflecting late-colonial-era institutional architecture. Exhibits cover medical education history, period medical equipment, the school's development through the colonial-and-post-war periods, and the broader regional medical-and-health history. Best for travelers seriously interested in modern Korean medical-and-educational history.
