Samsung Mobility Museum (삼성화재 모빌리티뮤지엄)

The Samsung Mobility Museum at Yongin, in the Everland resort area an hour south of Seoul, opened in 1998 as Korea's first automobile museum (then the Samsung Transportation Museum) and relaunched in August 2023 under its new name with a wider mobility brief. It is run by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance.

Around 60 vehicles anchor the floor, and the names are serious: a Jaguar D-Type, a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, a 1910 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, 1920s and 30s Bugattis and Porsche 356 and 911 examples share the halls with Korea's own milestones, the 1955 Sibal, the country's first car, and the 1975 Hyundai Pony. The 2023 relaunch added future mobility exhibits, autonomous shuttle and drone simulators included.

The museum's other legacy is children's traffic safety education, more than half a million kids since 1998, and the Everland-adjacent location makes it the enthusiast's excuse on a family theme park day.

A polished corporate museum where Korea's motoring firsts meet blue chip European classics.

Look out for:

• The 1955 Sibal, Korea's first car, beside the 1975 Hyundai Pony.

• The Jaguar D-Type and Mercedes-Benz 300SL at the performance end.

• The 1910 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and pre-war Bugattis.

• Porsche 356 and 911 examples in the sports car rows.

• The 2023 future mobility floor: autonomous shuttle and drone simulators.

• Children's traffic safety programs, the museum's quarter century specialty.

Best way to experience it: bolt it onto an Everland day via the free shuttle, allow 1 to 2 hours, and go weekday mornings for the quietest halls.

• Closed Mondays (and January 1 plus some holiday periods); open weekdays 9am to 5pm, weekends and holidays 10am to 6pm.

• Entry ₩10,000 adult, ₩8,000 youth, ₩6,000 senior; Everland passholders have received discounts, ask on arrival.

• Getting there: free shuttle from Jeondae Everland station (EverLine) exit 4, or drive with free on-site parking.

• Renamed in 2023: older maps and listings still say Samsung Transportation Museum, same place.
