 He built the museum to cheer her up, as she was in despair at the prospect of not being able to teach children anymore. Even before the accident, he had dreamed of building a learning center, where children can come and play, while learning through practical experience.

 The museum, which he built in 1996 and filled with learning materials he had been collecting, started to offer music classes by his wife Lee In-sook, and experience-to-learn classes by Kim Dong-seon himself. When the news about this museum got around, an increasing number of students and families started visiting the museum. It is now a quintessential education resource, which is perfectly qualified as a living educational center.

CURATOR'S CHOICE

When Mom and Dad were Students The first exhibition gallery has a space where a classroom is re-enacted. Titled 'When Mom and Dad Were Students' this space shows the wood coal stove at the center of the classroom, with a lid on top of which lies tin lunch boxes. Next to the teacher's table is a small organ that teachers used to play during music class in the past. This place is designed to be a learning by experience center, but middle aged visitors will find this a great place to take photos with the scene of days past as a background.
