Seoul is getting the world’s first museum dedicated to robots, and its opening ‘exhibition’ will be its own construction.

The Robot Science Museum will be built in the city’s Chang-dong neighbourhood by robots, who will assemble, weld and polish the metal plates of the new museum’s egg-like exterior. A second team will 3D print its concrete components.
