The African Museum opened in Seoul's Daehangno district in November 1998 and moved to Jeju in December 2004, into a new building on the east side of the Jungmun Resort, near the International Convention Center. The building is modeled on the Great Mosque of Djenné in Mali, the world's largest earthen building and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Inside, the museum introduces the culture of the African continent from a variety of angles.
