Seoul Olympic Museum

As you know, Korea was successful in holding the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The recently built and highly developed Seoul Olympic Museum, now has on display many of The Seoul Olympics Events and information, which is open to the public.
In celebrating the 13th anniversary of the Seoul Olympics, we opened ¡®The Seoul Olympic Museum¡¯ last September 17 a total of 1,769(pyeong).   As we work our way up from the basement to the 3rd floor, you will see that each floor has its own style, which exemplifies its own theme. The different themes can be seen on each and every floor level. Starting at the basement, we can see The Sports Experience and its ancestral home, on the 1st floor the Glory room, on the 2nd floor the Harmony, Hope and Prosperity rooms, and on the 3rd floor there is a library which catalogues a variety of literary in the form of both images and data. They hope this museum will become a Specialty Sports Museum, in Korea. Even those who are not interested in sports can enjoy and experience these moments throughout history, from young children to adults, everyone will be able to enjoy their visit to the Olympic Park.
