3. Love Museum (Seoul)
The Love Museum is an indoor, interactive attraction located in the Hongdae area of Seoul, housed in the same building as the popular Trick Eye Museum.

- Note: Some information suggests this museum might be permanently closed, or its status may have changed, so it is advisable to check its current operating status before planning a visit.
Other Erotic Attractions:
- Haesindang Park (Penis Park): While not a “sex museum” in the conventional sense, this park in the city of Samcheok is known for its collection of phallic sculptures and its small museum dedicated to genitalia-based art throughout Korean history. It originated from a local legend about a maiden’s death and the resulting effect on the fishing industry.
