About this place
Step back in time at Donuimun Museum Village, a unique cultural space where the history of Seoul comes alive. Located on the former site of Donuimun, one of the Joseon Dynasty's Four Great Gates, this "village museum" preserves buildings from the 1960s to the 1980s, saving them from demolition. Instead of a single building, the entire village is the museum, with its winding alleys and retro storefronts creating a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of scenes from K-dramas like 'Squid Game'. Explore various exhibition halls showcasing modern Korean life, from a vintage arcade to a traditional barbershop. Participate in hands-on activities like the famous Dalgona challenge or browse unique artisan shops. Entry is free, making it a perfect addition to your Seoul itinerary. For the best experience, check the official website for special events and exhibitions before your visit. It's a photographer's paradise and a living testament to Seoul's rapid modernization.
