National Science Museum — Attraction in Daejeon

This is the premiere science museum of South Korea and is well worth the visit. This is true even if you are not korean language proficient as most if the exhibits have English language explanations. I have been to science museims all over the world including the NYC Natural History Museum and this one here is in the big leagues. The exhibits related to the epochs of the earth are very well presented. Each one includes a earth model globe showing how the earth looked at that period. I was especially impressed with the trilobite exhibit for the Paleozoic period. Also there are Mesozoic dinosaur skeletons that are really impressive. I was particularly impressed with the exhibit related to how birds evolved from dinosaurs! Look at the photos as I tried to show a few of the exhibits at this world class miseum.

Whether it is to see the preserved skeletal remains of dinosaurs on display, taking a closer look at igneous rocks, posing in front of glass-enclosed life-size moulds of wild animals, being taken through a part of Korean history by a guide or taking a very short ride on the yet-to-be fastest train in the world which is still a work-in-progress, you are assured of nothing short of excitement in this museum. There is also an outdoor playground/park where the kids can have a good time while parents relax on the benches under...

This is one of the scientific culture facilities in Republic of Korea which studies and exhibits various scientific materials. At its center is the Austronaut Hall which is the largest dome in Korea. From there we can vividly see the phenomenon of the celestial sphere and the human development of space. It also has the only world-class space theater in Korea. The 242 seats are available on a first-come first serve basis. It can re-create the appearance of a night sky, the highlight being the view of the starlight at the...
