2036 Seoul, Second Olympics

The special exhibition <Seoul 2036, The Second Olympics> will be held in the Special Exhibition Hall lobby at the Seoul Museum of History to wish for the successful hosting of the 2036 Summer Olympics. This exhibition reflects on the half-century of history transformed since the Seoul Olympics and reexamines the achievements of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. It showcases the arduous journey of 1980s Seoul, a time when most believed hosting the Olympics was impossible. Despite a short preparation period, systematic efforts enabled the city to secure the Olympics, marking a leap forward on the global stage. Additionally, visitors can explore the changes in Seoul before and after the 1988 Seoul Olympics, one of the most significant international events in Korea's modern history, and how it impacted the lives of Seoul citizens. With hopes for a successful bid for the 2036 Seoul Olympics, we invite you to visit and take a moment to envision a renewed and further developed Seoul after hosting its second Olympics.
