Old Korean Legation Museum

William Song

The American legation in the Korean Empire opened 134 years ago. It is now officially introduced as a museum of the Old Korean Legation and is being actively promoted. By perfecting the restoration through historical evidence, he directly felt the hard work of his forefathers at the time, physically and mentally. My love for my country has grown even deeper. Thank you.

After the restoration/reconstruction that started under the Lee Myung-bak administration, it is a historically important and precious place for Koreans, so I hope that it will remain for a long time, except that the spoon demon kings Moon Jae-in and Kim Jeong-sook visited this place and played king games. I felt again today that Korea still has to constantly fight against the communists because an absurd human swearing at the Provisional Government in the comments below left a message. I got a 'private' tour of this museum since we were the only party booked for the time slot. I believe each reserving party gets a private tour of the place. Very historical and significant, not only to the Korean people, but to Logan Circle as well.

Definitely a place to visit. Online reservations are required ahead. The tours are done privately and the your lady was really knowledgeable and friendly. Asked many cultural and historical questions as well; and she knew them all. The house is amazingly restored. Incredible seeing such little details in every area. We enjoyed the visit. Not a kid friendly place, since is mostly a guided tour and it's like a "behinds the scenes" with facts of certain events.

The legation established by King Gojong in the United States after the establishment of diplomatic ties between Joseon and the United States. At the end of the 19th century, Joseon tried to build the Korean Empire while suppressing foreign powers such as Russia and Japan by contributing to diplomacy with the United States, even under the circumstances at the time when the fate of the country was in jeopardy... This legation building, located in Logan Circle, Washington, USA, was sold at a very low price during the Japanese colonial period, but after the 2000s, it remains in its current form through the purchase and restoration process to find its old appearance again. Currently, it welcomes visitors by reservation system. It is heartbreaking to see the Taegeukgi fluttering in this place, which now remains an important place in the history of Korea, not Joseon. I hope that the Republic of Korea will not be ashamed of its history and be free from interference and intrusion from other foreign powers.
