Bank of Korea Currency Museum "IMF Memories, Coexistence Beyond Finance"๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท

#AustraliaFlightEvent #museum #Myeongdong #WooriBankIMF Yesterday afternoon, I vividly encountered the painful history of 1997 through the IMF foreign exchange crisis special exhibition at the Bank of Korea Currency Museum.. In the actual restoration space of the "Gold Collection Movement" set up on one side of the exhibition hall, even gold rings and stone lawns donated by citizens at the time were on display!!! I felt the urgency of the times from the handwritten letters of elementary school students and the public fund documents written on Gong Byeong-woo's typewriter.. ๐Ÿ“Œ Points for solo travelers Recommended experience: Virtual public fund management simulation โ†’ Perform a task to restructure a failing bank using a touch screen (15 minutes, free) Hidden spot: "IMF Voice Archive" on the first basement floor โ†’ You can listen to President Kim Dae-jung's speech in the news at the time Recommended snack: Museum cafe "Gold Croffle" (7,500 won) โ†’ Special dessert with golden caramel sauce dripping down ๐Ÿšจ Notes The simulation experience is in the afternoon Check-in by 5:30 PM Alcohol disinfection is required after using the voice archive headset 500 won discount on croffles when adding honey topping (request on-site staff) While looking at the original bad debt seizure document, I noticed the desperate notes of bank employees at the time!! I designed a virtual bond certificate at the experience zone and made it into a key ring (10,000 won), and the word 'mutual prosperity' was engraved on it!!! The IMF commemorative postcard set (8,000 won) I bought at the museum store had the cheering messages written by the people at the time printed on it, making it even more special!!
