I really loved it. The museum was easy to get to which was something I was worried about. But the exhibition itself was also amazing, it had a really insightful idea of what the audience already knew and liked about Korea. For instance, the second you walk in a bunch of screens play Gangnam style. But it was also educational about the rise of K-dramas, etc. I was also shocked it had real costumes used in squid games. There was also a massive room all lit up about K-Pop which was super impressive and fun, playing music and showing clips from music videos with outfits the idols wore at the centre.

Great experience. It was amazing to see the effect Korea has had on the West and to be up close to important artefacts.

I wanted to go there for research for my final project and I was able to collect so many reference points for my research and take a lot of photos for it as well. Little things like typography, the way pictures were laid out, clothes, etc all inspired me! I would definitely recommend it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, though I wish it was longer/bigger. I loved learning how their history effects so much of what we consume, as well as the reason why things are the way that they are. I think this exhibition is one that everyone should experience at least once, as it would help people to have an open mind on trying/experiencing/enjoying things from different cultures. My favourite thing from the exhibit had to be the fashion, how it all was a mix of trendy, unique and traditional. If I had the chance I would definitely go again.

The exhibition was incredible! It was so insightful and I learned a lot even though I already knew a lot about the Korean wave beforehand.
