Yesterday after meeting fellow RFFer, Choi Hyun-Suk (hyun5suk) to see some camera stores in Seoul, I visited this one yr. old museum and it's pretty awesome. For those RFFers in and around Seoul, it's just outside the Seoul Grand Park Sta. (line No. 4), exit No. 4 and well worth the trip. You can tour it online here: http://www.kcpm.or.kr/

There's lots of significant, antique cameras as well as some classy, more recent RF and SLR stuff from all over the world (but of course, mainly Japan/ Germany) displayed in plexiglass cabinets. Ya' gotta see the special exhibit of factory, gold-plated cameras from Leica and others!

It's a huge and impressive, private investment of "bucks" (Won) for the cameras as well as the bldg/ property.

There were a couple of signs saying "no cameras", but I took a lot of photos w/o a flash and nobody told me to stop.
