    2. 02
      Before 16:30

      Enter through the named museum gate

      The audited coordinate reaches the Handok address. Follow security and museum signs rather than entering another company building or loading area.

    3. 03
      Allow about one hour

      Use the four-gallery route

      The current record suggests about one hour for Korean medicine, international history, company archives and the Jesuk Hall collection. Ask before photography or archive use.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Arrive well before the 16:30 final-entry time and allow extra time for campus check-in.
    • Use 한독의약박물관 and the full Daepungsandan-ro address so navigation does not stop at another Handok facility.
    • Ask before photographing exhibits, documents or temporary displays and never use flash where prohibited.
    • Confirm lift, stroller, toilet and rest-seat access when the full indoor route matters.
    • Search “충청북도 음성군 대소읍 대풍산단로 78 한독의약박물관” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Hours, admission, closures and programme schedules can change; use the official source before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
