The Nexon Computer Museum has been reimagined as the Nexon Museum.

This extensive renovation comes 13 years after the Nexon Computer Museum opened in 2013, transforming it from an IT exhibition space into a cultural destination dedicated to Nexon's game brands.

For gamers, it offers a new reason to visit Jeju.

A Space That Is a Game in Itself

Each floor of the Nexon Museum has its own distinct character.

At 'Ready 4 Play' on Floor 1, visitors can sit side by side with people they have just met and enjoy 4-player arcade games.

Media displays on the outer walls show the nicknames and game information of players currently in the museum, updating in real time to bring the atmosphere of a gaming space into the physical world.

‘Inventory’ on Floor 2 holds particular appeal for gaming history enthusiasts.

The archive traces the history of Korean boxed PC games from the 1980s through the 2000s. Alongside game packaging, manuals, and merchandise from those decades, visitors can browse approximately 2,500 digitized gaming magazines.

A documentary celebrating Nexon's 30th anniversary is also screened here, and the same floor hosts the special exhibition 'The Kingdom of the Winds: The Winds Continue'.

Visitors can also get a firsthand look at historically significant original materials, including 9 original artworks by Kim Jin and materials from the 1996 restoration project.

Floor 3 Is the Heart of the Renovation

'Hello, My OOO!' on Floor 3 connects to your Nexon account for an immersive experience tailored to your play history.

Tap your admission card at a kiosk, and a character from your most-played game appears on screen. An iconic NPC from the game of your choice then appears to guide you to an anamorphic portal and a mirrored space featuring a large curved LED display.

Photo mode unlocks once the video ends. For longtime players of Nexon games, from The Kingdom of the Winds to MapleStory, DNF, and Mabinogi, this is more than an exhibition visit: it is a chance to see your entire gaming life unfold like a panorama.

The merchandise zone offers products from a range of IPs, including DNF, Mabinogi Mobile, and Blue Archive, alongside museum-exclusive metal badges and extended mouse pads featuring new artwork.

A New Pilgrimage Destination for Gamers

▲At least it is fairly close to the airport?

The Nexon Museum is located on Jeju Island. Visitors from the Seoul metropolitan area need to take a flight, making it less accessible than other gaming events.

Still, the museum brings together an archive of 2,500 gaming magazines, original artwork from The Kingdom of the Winds, and historical materials on Korean PC gaming. Just as meaningful is the opportunity to revisit your own history as a gamer—and leave a new mark along the way.

One day, I plan to make my own ‘pilgrimage’ there.
