Seokjojeon, at 99 Sejong-daero in Seoul, is a museum devoted to the history of the Korean Empire and its royal family. Its European-style architecture, carefully preserved interiors and balcony view give you plenty to look at alongside the history. The guided tours are a practical way to learn more, with English tours available at set times and small groups. To help protect the building, visitors remove their shoes and wear slippers provided by the museum.
