Worth going. Free to enter. Combine with Gyeongbokgung Palace as they are linked.
This is free to enter. I am guessing most people will go to Gyeongbokgung Palace. The museum is linked to the palace from the back. I would definitely recommend going after visiting the palace. For a free museum, there is a lot of good information mainly on the lives of Korean people and how this has changed over the years. If your interested in learning about clothing, work, family life and more then go. Well laid out and very easy to understand. Clean. There is a museum shop and small cafe inside too. I spent about an hour browsing which was good for an overview. You could easily spend two hours or so in there. Medium sized so not too big. The building appears big but it's very spacious. I had visited the palace and was feeling a little tired, debating whether to go. Glad I went. It's not a history museum, more factual and good for children too. One thing, you cannot go back into the palace after you visit the museum so finish your palace visit first.

Korean History for Free
Visited due to needing an indoor place as it was raining. When it rains in Korea it really rains! The museum was very interesting, showing the history and culture of Korea. There were interactive games and English translations. They also have a children's museum. The shop had some nice pieces. Only trouble is that there is also a lot to see in the outside area, so I still ended up getting soaked. Easy to get to and free to enter.
