Why the 2008 Automobile Pavilion and 2019 Piano Pavilion Are in One Place

The automobile museum at the World Automobile & Piano Museum opened in April 2008, and its official website introduces it as Asia’s first privately owned automobile museum. More than 100 historically valuable classic cars, sports cars, and Korean automobiles can be viewed in the various exhibition halls.

The piano museum opened in July 2019 and is presented as the first privately owned piano museum in the Republic of Korea. Its exhibits include 300 years of piano artworks connected to instruments loved by Beethoven, Chopin, and Haydn; the world’s only piano sculpted by Auguste Rodin; and the world’s one and only 100% 24K gold piano.

In Exhibition Hall 2, visitors can see concert grand pianos and art-case grand pianos. The piano associated with Auguste Rodin may be played directly as part of the educational tour docent program, but this docent tour must be reserved one week in advance.

How to Travel from Jeju Airport to Sumbinari Bus Stop

The official transportation information states that public transportation from Jeju Airport to the museum takes approximately 40 minutes and recommends a route using a bus toward the western industrial road via Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal and Halla Hospital. The journey is described as approximately 20 minutes from Jungmun and approximately 30 minutes from Seogwipo.

Public transportation users must get off at Sumbinari Bus Stop and walk approximately 10 minutes to the museum. Since the exact bus route number is not provided on the information page, drivers may find it simplest to enter navigation search number 7923000. The address is 1610 Jungsanganseo-ro, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, and the lot number is 2065-4 Sangchang-ri.

Free Parking, Wheelchair Rental, and Facilities for Children

The museum has a fully equipped private parking lot, and parking is free. An electric vehicle charging station is also available, allowing visitors arriving by rental car to plan their charging. The ticket office offers luggage storage, but visitors are advised not to leave cash or valuables because of the risk of loss.

There is a stroller storage area and children’s push cars, and wheelchairs can be rented in the museum lobby. Rental inquiries can be made with the souvenir shop staff. For the children’s traffic experience, a guardian or another person who can drive must ride along, so children cannot use it on their own.

How to Add a Gotjawal Forest Walk and Children’s Activities After Viewing the Cars

The museum has a Gotjawal Healing Road, and the official information explains that more than 100 plant species inhabit this forest. The flower garden features camellias, hydrangeas, plum blossoms, verbena, and other flowers, and operates as a walking course for viewing seasonal blooms. If you had planned to see only the indoor exhibitions, adding this outdoor route will broaden the scope of your visit.

Children’s activities include riding mini electric cars and feeding flower deer. The flower deer and rabbit feeding experiences are available even in rainy weather, and there is also a driving simulator based on 3D stereoscopic video. The tea house sells snacks, beverages, and coffee, and also operates a system in which a robot makes the coffee.

What to Confirm by Phone Before Your First Visit and the On-Site Route

The visitor information phone number is 064-792-3000, and the official website is https://worldautopianomuseum.com/. General admission begins at 09:00, but entry closes at 17:20, so it is difficult to include the automobile pavilion, piano pavilion, and Gotjawal walking trail all in a late-afternoon visit. The official information does not specify a recommended viewing duration, while reviews mention approximately one to two hours.

On a first visit, it is easiest to enter through the ticket office, see Automobile Exhibition Halls 1 through 4 and the second floor first, and then move to the piano lobby and Exhibition Halls 1 and 2. Afterwards, add the Gotjawal Healing Road, flower garden, and activity areas according to the weather and your energy level. Since no information is provided about permitted photography areas, English Information or audio guides, or whether the facility is cash-only, visitors for whom these three points are important should call 064-792-3000 before departing.
