Seoul Baekje Museum

Getting in

Entrance

You can reach the main entrance on basement floor B1 by wheelchair, with no steps. The approach is wide, with a flat or gentle slope.

Doors

The entrance doors open by hand, not automatically. The doors appear to be glass swing doors with long handles, with no visible raised sill.

Parking

Accessible parking is on B2 and B3, but the lot gets crowded, so use public transport if you can. For vehicles under 20 seats, the first 30 minutes are free, then 300 won per 5 minutes, up to 20,000 won a day, as of October 2026. People with disabilities and national merit recipients may get 80% off, but the rules and whether foreign visitors qualify are not known. Ask the museum whether this covers you.

Route

The museum's directions from Hanseong Baekje use Exit 2, about 5 to 6 minutes on foot, and this exit has an elevator. Its directions from Mongchontoseong use Exit 1, about 10 to 15 minutes on foot. This is not the station's elevator exit, so your route from the elevator may differ.

Inside

Elevator

The museum has an accessible elevator. Using it may be awkward in some cases, and the reason is not known. A wheelchair lift may also be beside a staircase, but its location is not known.

Floors

By elevator or stairs, you can go from the B1 lobby to Gallery 2 on floor 1, and to the restaurant and rooftop Sky Garden on floor 2. The floors inside are flat, and there is an indoor ramp.

Toilets

An accessible toilet is available, with enough room inside and an emergency bell. It appears to have fold-down grab bars. Ask at the information desk which floor it is on.

Rest

You can buy a drink and rest at the Museum Cafe on B1. Floor 2 has an Italian restaurant. You cannot bring food or drink into the museum.

Wheelchairs

Older visitors and people with disabilities can borrow a wheelchair for free at the information desk. Use it inside the building only.
