Why go

The museum walks visitors through Choi's biography, his role as a Christian pastor and educator, his social-reform activities and resistance work during the colonial period, and the broader cultural-and-religious context of his work. Period documents, archival photographs, and interpretive panels anchor the museum. Best for travelers interested in Korean Christianity-and-social-reform history.
