The Museum of Medicine

Seoul National University Hospital Museum of Medicine is a public institutional museum dedicated to the history of medicine in Korea, located on the Seoul National University Hospital campus in central Seoul. The museum walks visitors through the development of modern medicine in Korea from the colonial period through the post-war era, with displays of period medical equipment, archival photographs and documents, period medical practitioners' tools, and interpretive context on Korean medical-and-health history. The museum sits in the building that originally served as the main medical office of the colonial-era hospital, giving the institution direct architectural connection to its historical subject matter. Best for travelers seriously interested in modern Korean medicine and public-health history.
