After opening on September 14, 2012 as the only museum about Dokdo located in a metropolitan area, Dokdo Museum Seoul celebrated its sixth anniversary by hosting the "Six Dokdo Stories" program throughout September 2018. Groups of families visiting the museum were particularly eager to participate in the program's six different events that involved posting pictures of their visit on social media, taking a quiz about Dokdo, writing postcards to officers guarding Dokdo, creating newspaper articles about Dokdo, making Dokdo-themed key chains, and watching the animation "Gangchi the Dokdo Guard." The museum also extended its visiting hours until nine o'clock on September 14 and offered a special lecture in the evening by NAHF Research fellow Hong Seong-keun on "Meeting Dokdo in Seoul." Having welcomed around 230,000 visitors over the past six years, Dokdo Museum Seoul has settled down as the place to visit in Seoul for anyone who wishes to learn about the Korean island Dokdo.
