World Automobile & Piano Museum — Attraction in Seogwipo-si

Hidden gem for families with kids or car/piano lovers. Their selection was so impressive so that I felt bad for paying only $9~11/head for the entrance and ended up writing this long review for the first time. In sum, this one is a very interactive museum with great exhibits. On top of their beautiful pianos and cars, which you can observe in very close distance, they had many pleasant surprises to offer.

They had most impressive children's driving center. Kids of all age were given one shot on the road that looped around their beautiful garden and indoor exhibition hall. The track had decently challenging hills and curves, so both older kids and parents accompanying younger kids had little time to get bored on the couple miles of ride. Upon completion, the kids got drivers license with their picture and name on it. My little one got similar kids souvenirs before, but she liked this most and made sure I carry them in my wallet along my real one.

They also offered DIY music box next to where they exhibit Rodin's piano. They had appx 15 songs and hundreds of box options. We got a real nice grand piano music box (made of quality wood, no pretend wood) at $32, which I really wanted to buy in one of the similar museums in Germany/Australia with a much higher price tag. Could be a great birthday activity as well and their DIY kits start at $9.

Hanging out with beautiful Jeju deers was one of amazing experiences they offer. We got a bunch of carrot(each group gets one bunch for free) at the entrance to feed the deers on our way to the indoor exhibits. They had like 20 friendly deers in the open exhibition area who were delighted by the snacks. They knew very social and some of them were eager to play with us after we ran out...

This museum is put together with a lot of love and consideration for the visitor. None of the cars is particularly valuable, yet each has a story and a place in history because of its design, technology, and positioning.

English cards are sometimes sloppy, but the space is immaculately clean and easy to follow. Some cars show neglect where original parts could not be found. The cars feel mothballed, yet well preserved overall.

While not a piano expert, I was awestruck by the stories behind some of the pieces on display, especially by the grand piano carved by Rodin. That, to me, was the biggest highlight there, and a total surprise in provenance.

The staff there is very sweet. They called me a taxi while I was invited to shelter from the rain. And getting carrots to feed the deer zoo was a welcome surprise, a bit random, but heartwarming nonetheless.

Definitely recommended for families and lazy afternoons —the gift shop is...

As I stand among these timeless antique cars, I am filled with a profound sense of awe and nostalgia. Each gleaming surface and meticulous detail speaks of an era long past, yet alive through the dedication of those who pour their hearts into preserving these masterpieces. The smooth curves, bold colors, and intricate craftsmanship transport me to a world where every ride was an experience and every design a story. I am deeply grateful to the passionate restorers and caretakers who ensure these gems remain as pristine as the day they first graced the roads, allowing us to relive history in all its splendor. Their skill and devotion breathe life into these rolling works of art, reminding us that the beauty of the past deserves to...
