Seodaemun Museum of Natural History is located in Seodaemun-gu in Seoul, Korea. The museum was planned and constructed by the Seodaemun District Office. After 6 years of planning and construction, the museum opened on July 10th, 2003. The purpose of the foundation is to preserve, to study and to exhibit geological and biological records about the local environment.The museum is organized around three main themes over three floors, and displays the history of nature and life vividly through various real specimens of minerals, rocks, and fossils (including dinosaurs, animals, and insects from all over the world), but also displays them with up-to date display technologies such as models, dioramas, and stereopsis displays.

These days I visited the museum with pleasant surroundings and enjoyed exciting sketch time in and out of the museum, appreciating the precious natural assets.

서대문 자연사 박물관은 도심 주변의  안산 기슭에 위치한 쾌적한 시민 휴식처입니다.

자연사의 문화체험과 교육을 통해 생명의 소중함과 함께 변화해가는 지구환경의 모습을 

생생하게 드로잉하며 입체적으로 느낄 수 있는 스케쳐들의 좋은 작업현장이라 하겠습니다.
