Chamsori Gramophone & Edison Science Museum 참소리축음기·에디슨과학박물관
Gangneung · Gyeongpo & Chodang · Museums & exhibits
A private museum that began as one man's passion for old audio machines, this place houses thousands of gramophones, music boxes and early electrical inventions. The headline feature is the guided session, where staff wind up vintage players and let the sound fill the room, which is unexpectedly moving even if you know nothing about audio. A second hall covers Thomas Edison's inventions.
It is aimed at curious families and parents, and may feel slow for people who prefer outdoor activity. Schedules, entry fees and tour times may change, so confirm before you go.
Take a taxi from Gangneung Station (강릉역) for about 15 minutes, or ride a local bus toward Gyeongpodae. It is close to the lake.
