Hello Kitty museum opens in Jeju

A museum dedicated to Hello Kitty has opened on Jejudo Island. The museum featuring “everything about Hello Kitty” presents various products and a 3-D animated film, which will get its world premiere at the museum.

“The museum focused on providing a fun program that visitors of all generations can enjoy. It offers a new experience as many of the programs will involve physical activities,” said Kim Jong-seok, founder of the museum.

The museum features some of the most diverse products in the gigantic Hello Kitty House located on the first and second floors.
