Overview

Tours are not available on Mondays because the museum is closed, so please keep this in mind when making a reservation.

It’s also available for cruise tourists (schedule can be adjusted).

Two events shaped modern Korea more than anything else: the arrival of Christian missionaries in the late 19th century and the Korean War. When Korea was extremely poor and had almost no concept of modern medicine, blue-eyed missionaries built hospitals and schools for the poor and offered free care and education. Many of the institutions they founded later became today’s top universities and major hospitals, such as Yonsei University and Catholic University hospitals. By covering these two pivotal events, this tour will help you understand and give you a meaningful and close look at Korea’s modern history.
