One of the campuses owned by DAU, is located in the middle of the city of Busan. Within this campus area there is a very interesting museum. When we visited this campuss, we met some kindergarten students accompanied by their teachers visiting the museum.

A beautiful campus right in the middle of town, unlike most campuses, which are halfway up the mountain. There's a free museum front and center. They have art and historical relics.
It's a nice place to walk around, especially if you want to get some exercise, you can make a full circle around the buildings and there are outdoor staircases as well. Sometimes children come here in the afternoon to ride bikes and play on the plaza.The University campus is in a nice location, near other historical and cultural sites. The provincial house is less than a 5-minute walk away off the rear south corner of campus.
