The Aerospace Museum run by the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has all that you need to know about aviation in its indoors and outdoors exhibition halls.
Tickets for adults cost 2,000 won. After purchasing your ticket from the booth, walk along the path and soon you will arrive at the outdoors exhibition hall, where 30 pieces of planes, fighters and armored vehicles are placed in.

There's an eye-catching plane in the outdoor exhibition area, the president's private plane! Take a closer look inside, and you will be taken on a journey of Korean modern history.
There's also a transport plane right next to the private plane, used in the film "Welcome to Dongmakgol" (2005). The movie scene where the Allied Forces rides a parachute and infiltrates through a village was filmed here, and pictures from the filming are displayed as well.

In the two-story indoor exhibition hall, the first floor is themed as aviation and the second, as space. The first floor starts off with introducing the history of aerial development, then displays various kinds of airplanes.
At the entrance, you will see a model astronaut, and from there on you will be greeted with information about the components of planes and aviation theories.

Don't forget to see the nonmotorized plane called Bicha, or flying car. It is the world's first nonmotorized airplane created about 300 years before the Wright brothers' plane. Bicha flew over the Jinju Fortress during the Imjin War and supplied weapons.
In the second floor of the exhibition hall, several space objects such as spacesuits are displayed. You can also take a look at the foods eaten in the spacecraft in 2008 during Korea's first journey to outer space.
