A city-run museum near Gyeonghuigung palace devoted to the urban and social history of the capital from the Joseon dynasty through its explosive modern growth. Its permanent galleries trace how Seoul evolved from a walled royal city into a dense metropolis, using scale models, reconstructed streetscapes, household objects, and archival photographs. A large-scale relief map of the present-day city anchors one hall. Admission is free, and outdoor exhibits include salvaged tram cars and relocated architectural fragments.
