I came here again, after visiting 2 years ago when I had tight time constraints. I was able to see all of the attractions in good detail, and some of the exhibits had been updated too. This is an excellent display of the history of electrical/electronic technology from the discovery of electricity to the technology of today, featuring many Samsung products produced over the last 50 years. Be sure to make a reservation or email for an appointment if visiting Monday to Friday, as visits are normally restricted to appointments only. No reservation is needed on Saturdays. 15-1 bus from Suwon station is the easiest way to get there and back.
