National Museum of Korea

About

The National Museum of Korea inherits the legacy of the former Government-General Museum, a space steeped in a wealth of history and culture. Within the quiet atmosphere still held by its old bricks and wooden door posts, royal artifacts of Joseon and relics of antiquity stand as if time had forgotten them. The Central Asian relics of the Otani Collection, still holding the soil and wind of a distant land, stop visitors in their tracks. Within the traditional architecture that preserves the atmosphere of Joseon, the fragrance of hanok and the lives of people long past flow on intact.
