National Museum of Korea

The National Museum of Korea is a must-visit for anyone interested in history and culture. The exhibits are well-organized, covering everything from ancient artifacts to modern art. The building itself is impressive, with beautiful architecture and peaceful outdoor spaces. It’s a great place to spend a few hours exploring Korea’s rich heritage. It is free access for tourist , and there is restaurant and cafeteria there , outside there is a wonderful lake with stunning view! Highly recommend!

I had a great time visiting the museum. It was very big. If you go, I would advice to go early and spend as much time there. When I visit South Korea, I will definitely go again. It was so beautiful. You don't need ticket at the time I went to visit the main museum.

I can't believe this is free! I felt like I got so much value from this museum. It's wild to me that they don't charge even a small admission fee. There are three levels with what felt like 30 individual exhibits in their regular displays. The architecture of the building was lovely, and the design choices for their exhibits were stylish and effective. They had many beautiful pieces on display, lots of pottery and woodwork. There is ample seating throughout the building, which comes in handy as you will need a short break at some point. It's definitely something I would recommend to those who enjoy visiting museums/galleries, etc.

This museum present my mother country’s history and culture. I wish this museum hire the reside English curator for English Speaking visitors. Even some exhibition items has English version, it is not enough to understand the history and culture. I am Korean American so I want my mother country to be a leader and introduce its rich culture and history to the people who admire Korean culture and history.

Very informative and interesting exhibits, great for learning about Korean history. Signage is in both Korean and English and various guided tours are available. Found it beneficial to visit before visiting palaces and historical sites to gain a greater understanding of the context and history. Easy to get to on the subway, the surrounding park is beautiful, and entrance is free!

It was one of the most interesting and biggest museums I've ever been to. If you want to check out the whole area of the museum and inspect many exhibits carefully, you'll need around 3 hours or more. But it's definitely worth it and absolutely mind-blowing. Especially for first timers in seoul a must visit

It's free entry. And it has a really good gift shop that included special BTS merchandise. I found it really relaxing. Usually I lose my attention at museums but I found this one really enjoyable, especially since I visited on a rainy day. There's a cafe on the second floor where you can get coffee or food. It's a lot of beautiful pottery and jewelry and artwork and furniture. And the space is really beautiful. Plus from the cafe you can get a really good view of Seoul Tower

This "free to visit" place is really Korea's flagship museum, equivalent to the British Museum in London, its world class. Exhibits a spread across three floors, but some galleries are currently closed. Its focus is on history, art, and archaeology. Exhibits cover dynastic history, calligraphy & paintings, as well as world art with some collections from Japan, China, Greece & Rome. Also, don't miss the immersive digital gallery on the first floor. Good facilities here, including its own food court, lockers, and a large museum shop. Outside from the terrace at the far end, you have a good view looking north of the N Seoul Tower.
