The National Museum of Korea

The National Museum of Korea is the cultural organization that represents Korea and is the flagship museum of Korean history and art in South Korea. The museum has been dedicated to diverse studies and research activities in the domains of archaeology, history, and art since its founding in 1945, while also establishing a range of exhibitions and teaching programs. In 2005, it was relocated to Seoul's Yongsan District. The National Museum of Korea inaugurated a new branch within Incheon International Airport on June 24, 2021. The branch, which is located in the boarding area of the airport in front of Gate No. 22, was opened to commemorate the museum's 20th anniversary.

There are three levels to the museum. The museum's left side is designed to symbolize the past, while the right side is supposed to represent the future. Parks, indigenous plant gardens, waterfalls and pools, and a variety of pagodas, stupas, lanterns, and steles may be found on the bottom floor (including National Treasure of Korea No. 2, the Great Bell of Bosingak, the exemplar of Korean bells of the Joseon period).

Location: 137, Yongsangu, Seoul
