About the National Museum of Korea
The National Museum of Korea is South Korea's flagship museum for Korean history and art. Founded in 1945, it has devoted itself to studies and research in archaeology, history and art, while building up exhibitions and education programs. Its collection grew from earlier museum holdings, including those of the Imperial Household Museum, which Emperor Sunjong established in 1909 as Korea's first museum.
In the Korean War, its 20,000 pieces were taken to Busan, where they were safe from destruction. Back in Seoul after the war, the museum was housed at Gyeongbokgung and Deoksugung Palace, and in 1972 it moved to a new building within the Gyeongbokgung Palace grounds. The new building in Yongsan Family Park officially reopened the museum on October 28, 2005. The land was once a golf course within the Yongsan Garrison, and the US Army returned part of it to the Korean government in 1992.
The museum holds over 310,000 pieces, with about 15,000 on display at one time across six permanent exhibition galleries. It has three floors, and symbolically the left side represents the past while the right side represents the future. To protect the artifacts, the main building can withstand a magnitude 6.0 earthquake, the display cases sit on shock-absorbent platforms, and an imported natural lighting system uses sunlight instead of artificial lights.
