Fodor's Expert Review Sejong Center

Gwanghwamun and Around Performance Venues

Located directly across from Gwanghwamun Square, the Sejong Center is the largest cultural complex in the city. Its facilities include two art museums, three theaters, and a library—each known for hosting a range of events from classical music concerts to traditional Korean dances to more mainstream theater shows. Notably, the Center’s Grand Theater is famous as the home of Asia’s largest instrument, a 1978 pipe organ with a custom-made Buddhist bell. If catching a show doesn’t sound feasible, be sure to visit at least the exhibition hall in B2 that’s devoted to the stories of King Sejong and Admiral Yi Sunshin.
