The Latin American Cultural Center Museum (중남미문화원)

The Latin American Cultural Center Museum is a public institutional museum in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, dedicated to Latin American cultural-and-historical heritage — uniquely positioned as one of Asia's only major Latin American cultural institutions. The museum walks visitors through the cultural traditions of Latin America (pre-Columbian civilizations, colonial-era heritage, contemporary Latin American culture), with extensive displays of Latin American art, archaeological artifacts, traditional craft, and cultural materials. The museum is the result of donations from Korean diplomatic-and-cultural figures who served in Latin America, and the unusual specialty makes it one of Korea's most distinctive specialty museums. Best for travelers interested in Latin American culture-and-history rather than typical Korean-cultural sightseeing.
