If you're planning a trip to Seoul or just looking for a cultural escape in the city, I highly recommend visiting the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan. It's the largest and most comprehensive museum in South Korea — a place where history, art, and architecture come together beautifully.

📍 What to Expect
The museum houses over 420,000 artifacts, showcasing Korea’s rich heritage from the Stone Age to the Joseon Dynasty. Highlights include:

• 🗿 Ancient History Hall: Prehistoric tools, pottery, and Bronze Age treasures.

• 🖼️ Calligraphy & Painting Gallery: Stunning traditional Korean art.

• 🕉️ Buddhist Art Hall: Beautiful sculptures and relics.

• 🌏 World Culture Gallery: Artifacts from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

The building itself is modern yet reflects traditional Korean aesthetics — surrounded by peaceful gardens and a lake, perfect for a relaxing stroll after your visit.

🎧 Good to Know

• Free admission to the main exhibits! Some special exhibitions may charge a small fee.

• Multilingual audio guides available (including in English and Chinese).

• Great for families — there’s a Children’s Museum with hands-on experiences.

• Cafés and rest areas make it easy to spend half a day or more here.

• Super easy to get to — just take Line 4 or the Gyeongui-Jungang Line to Ichon Station.

🌸 Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or just curious about Korean culture, this museum is definitely worth your time.
