Hyundai Kia R&D Museum
The Hyundai Kia R&D Museum was opened in 2007. It is located in Hyundai Kia R&D center, Hwaseong Gyeonggi, South Korea.[1] It displays significant cars from Hyundai Motors and Kia Motors. It has 20 cars on display and 190 cars in storage due to the space reasons. It displays some remarkable cars such as Hyundai Pony, Hyundai Stellar, Kia Bongo, Kia Sephia, Kia Elan, Hyundai Porter and Hyundai Accent. Hyundai Motors is still looking for its previous models, such as Ford Cortina, which was Hyundai's first production car. Hyundai is planning to make Hyundai Motor Museum which is scheduled to open in 2016. The museum will be constructed by Hyundai Construction.
Visiting
To visit the museum, you must be invited by Hyundai Motor Group or be an employee who works for the group. Visitors are limited to small numbers and, because the museum is located at the R&D center, there are limitations on photography.
Other museums
Hyundai and Kia Motors also owns the other museum. It is located in the factory complax for visitors to take a look at the history of the company. The rest of the South Korean Motor companies like GM Korea and SsangYong Motor Company does not collect or have their museums. The "R&D Museum" is one of the two motor company owned museum in South Korea other being the Renault Samsung which was established in 1998.[2][3]
