Logan Circle in Northwest Washington in Washington, District of Columbia — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Old Korean Legation Museum
주미 대한제 국공사관
This building used to house the first diplomatic mission of Korea (then Joseon) in the U.S. from 1889 through 1905. As such, it is a landmark that represents the cradle of the Korea-U.S. partnership. Restored to its original beauty in 2018 after 113 years' closure, it now serves as a museum. We welcome you to come in and share the time-honored friendship between Korea and the U.S.A.
