A place where you don't just 'learn' about pre-modern Korean history, you feel it through your skin all the way to the bones.

Solemn experience - excellent museum. Not too crowded. Very easy transportation from the Dongnimmun station.
This place will bring you back to the historical time of Korea. This prison was the biggest prison in Korea at that time. Many independent fighter of Korea was jailed here by Japanese. You can see photos of Koreans that fight for their country's independent. This place is very good for education and for knowing south Korea's history more.
This is a place where we can't forget Korea's painful history and we can see the hard work and sacrifice of our ancestors who fought for Korea's independence. In particular, I was grateful that we were able to live a free life in Korea because of these people, as I watched the restored prison tickets of those who had been imprisoned. If you watch the movie \Resistance\ before you go to the Seodaemun Prison History Hall, you will be able to improve your understanding of the place and see it more seriously. I recommend visiting here.
I really liked this museum! The workers could speak English at the ticket box and it was a great place to walk around. The museum was large and had a lot of interesting things to learn about. I went during winter but the view was amazing. It's also a museum where you can interact with the buildings by going and peering into the cells. You can go into a box chamber that they used to the torture. And you can see and just feel the serenity of the scene. Overall pretty easy to find by getting out of the subway station and pretty cheap!
It's 3000 krw to visit the prison museum. It gives insight on the history of Korea the cons is that some of the museum is not in English. Recommend visitors to visit it! :)
Very impressive side. They entire prison is kept in neat condtion and shows in detail how prisoners were kept and treated during their captivity. You can easily spent 1 or 2 hours here and learn a lot about that time. The entrance fee is very reasonable too. Which makes the decision weather to get in or not easy.
