Samsung opens its own electronics museum in Suwon, Korea

Before arriving at the Samsung Innovation Museum, I had an idea of what to expect: the Korean company shoehorning itself into every technological milestone, whether it deserved to or not. Fortunately, the five-storey complex in Suwon’s Digital City (that’s a nerve center of Samsung Electronics) starts with the advent of electricity and goes from there and any notion that this is a Samsung… thing is when the company starts building electronics itself — oh and a big helping of those see-thru touchscreen displays boxes… yeah, they were a hint. The museum opens to the public today, but we took an (admittedly on-the-rails) tour with other foreign media last week. Is it worth a trip to Korea? Maybe not, but if you’re a tech obsessive already visiting Seoul, it could be worth the trip out to Samsung’s Digital City. Be warned: it was mildly educational.
