Enjoy a Free Exhibition Space🖼

The free Seongsimdang exhibition is spread across Levels 3, 4, and 5. Just follow the signs up, and you'll be amazed by the quality of the displays – it was much better than I expected!

It's a wonderfully air-conditioned indoor space, which is a huge plus, especially during Daejeon's hot summers! With so much to see for free, I completely lost track of time exploring.

You can dive into the fascinating history of Seongsimdang and the evolution of bread-making in Korea. They even have actual baking tools used by Seongsimdang, which brings the story to life in a really vivid way!

There are even fun photo zones scattered throughout, perfect for snapping some memorable pics! It's easy to spend more time here than you'd expect.

If it's your first time visiting Seongsimdang, I highly recommend making a stop here!

Plenty of Fun Browsing the Merchandise!

On the first floor of the Seongsimdang Culture Center, you'll find a delightful display of merchandise, all available for purchase!

From mugs and Seongsimdang postcards to stickers and more, there's something for everyone.

My personal favorites were the adorable plushies! The Gomsiki and Seongsimi dolls are just too cute.

With stickers starting from less than a dollar, it's easy to pick up an affordable souvenir. The range includes stickers, towels, mugs, masking tape, dolls, and more. If you visit, definitely make sure to browse the merchandise corner!

A Perfect Spot to Relax, Especially in Summer🍃

The Culture Center isn't just a place to eat bread; it's a vibrant space where you can truly immerse yourself in the Seongsimdang brand and its rich cultural heritage.

With its captivating free exhibitions and charming merchandise, it's also a fantastic spot to unwind. I highly recommend adding it to your Daejeon travel itinerary for a unique and relaxing experience!
