Hello!

I'm 피스타임, your Nexon Picker.

On May 12, the Nexon Computer Museum on Jeju Island

reopened as the Nexon Museum.

I remember visiting during a trip to Jeju in 2019,

drawn in by the Nexon name alone.

30 Years of History, Preserved

Nexon Computer Museum

Back then, the focus wasn't so much on Nexon itself.

I remember a museum devoted to computers and hardware,

with a little Nexon mixed in.

Of course, there were plenty of game-related exhibits,

and those alone made it a fun place to explore.

There were several different arcade areas, too,

and I remember having fun playing games there.

There was even a MapleStory-themed minigame.

It had an unusual control scheme that I found intriguing.

Finally, here's a photo of my friend and me

posing with Dao.

It's already been 7 years, but the memories are coming back to me.

The Revamped Nexon Museum

What's Changed?

On May 12 this year, the Nexon Computer Museum

reopened under the name Nexon Museum.

It wasn't just a name change, either.

From what I've heard, quite a lot has changed inside as well.

Most notably, the 1st floor has moved away from computer history,

with spaces such as Ready 4 Play, where you can enjoy 4-player co-op games,

and Players' Community, where you can share your gaming experiences,

bringing the focus to players' experiences instead.

The 2nd floor still has much the same game archive feel,

but now features a special exhibition on The Kingdom of the Winds,

giving it an even stronger connection to Nexon.

The 3rd floor has been completely transformed from a coding workshop space

into an immersive media art zone.

When you tap your admission card at a kiosk,

a signature character from the game you've been playing the most lately

appears on screen to begin your personalized journey.

You can also explore data and player histories from Nexon's flagship IPs,

including The Kingdom of the Winds, MapleStory, Mabinogi, and Blue Archive,

through wall-filling LED media art.

The dining area is now Café MapleStory,

a Pink Bean-themed café.

There's everything from MapleStory-themed food

to a variety of merchandise to browse.

Finally, here are the location and opening hours.

Back in its days as the Nexon Computer Museum,

it explored the evolution of computers and the birth of games, just as its name suggested.

Now, as the Nexon Museum, it's become a place where the memories we've made in Nexon games

come to life in the real world through striking media art.

I'd love to stop by the next time I visit Jeju!
