About

Located in the main building of the former Chungnam Provincial Office completed in 1932, the Daejeon Modern History Exhibition Hall is a representative modern architectural building of Daejeon and National Registered Cultural Heritage No. 18. It was the center of Chungnam administration during the Japanese colonial period, and was used as the government complex of the temporary capital Daejeon during the Han-gukjeonjaeng, sharing important moments of modern and contemporary Korean history.

It boasts the beautiful architectural beauty of the building itself, and in particular, the central staircase finished with artificial stone is a popular photo spot. You can explore 100 years of Daejeon's history in the permanent exhibition room on the 1st floor, and look around the former provincial governors' offices on the 2nd floor. Also known as a filming location for numerous works such as the movie 'The Attorney', it is a place that offers unique fun along with historical significance.
