Reviews
"Wonderful yet tragic history accompanied with a terrific, curated personal experience with a well-read host who is able to answer the most detailed of questions. The engagement does require a pre-reservation but is so well worth the one-one experience. Any and all Koreans or Americans should experience this Legation museum to understand the impacts and sacrifices of successful foreign policy at work."
"As a Korean-American, I learned a lot about the history of Korea and it's relations with the US. The building has been renovated to resemble the original appearance. Many thanks to the docent who gave a wonderful tour!"
"After spending a week exploring Washington DC, this was our very favorite museum that we visited. Such a beautiful building in such a delightful neighborhood, staffed by some of the kindest people we had the opportunity to meet during our visit. Michelle was enthusiastic in sharing her heritage and history with us during a private tour. We felt so incredibly privileged to spend time with her while learning about the friendship between South Korea and the United States over the last 70 years. Her attention to detail and willingness to answer questions and really customize our tour makes this experience truly shine. If you want to get away from the crowds and the giant museums that everyone goes to, take the time to schedule a tour at the Korean Legation Museum and you're certain to walk away feeling like you just experienced something very special."
"I strong recommend this place to visit if you have a travel plan in DC. I cannot explain very well my feeling, but you can get an insight about old Korea empire circumstances. The staff is very kind and intelligent. However, you have to make an appointment before you visit this place because it serves private guide tour."
"A must-visit local gem hidden at the heart of Logan circle. The Old Korean Legation is a historically rich place where one can learn about the shift in the 19th century world order and how Korea struggled to find its standing for 16 years until Japanese colonial rule began. It’s a beautiful building carefully restored after thorough research. We booked a slot to visit, and were surprised to be greeted by the guide who warmly welcomed us even though we were 30 mins late. We were the only party then, and the guide gave us a detailed private tour, which I didn’t expect at all. Wish I could keep this gem to myself but at the same time hope that the world knows about it."
