Animation Museum (Chuncheon)
애니메이션박물관
South Korea's first museum dedicated to animation, with a toy robot hall next door that's great for families, on the shore of Uiam Lake.
The Animation Museum in Chuncheon opened in 2004 on the western shore of Uiam Lake. It is the first museum in Korea focused on animation. Visitors can learn the principles of animation, the history of Korean animation, and classic characters, with interactive areas for voice dubbing and stop-motion animation, as well as a 4D theater. The same complex also houses the Toy Robot Museum, where visitors can operate robots and try out simple programming, making it ideal for children. Admission is about 5,000-7,000 won, and the museum is generally closed on Mondays. Getting there: a taxi from Chuncheon Station takes about 10 minutes. The museum can easily be combined with a bike ride along the lakeside trail.
