National Museum of Korea · Seoul 5-day itinerary

Yongsan · Ichon · Museums and design

Begin by choosing a few interests at the museum. Sample the permanent collection rather than trying to finish every gallery, and leave time for lunch.

National Museum of Korea, Yongsan, Ichon, Seoul, South Korea

Check current visiting hours and closed days with the official source.

Permanent galleries free; check special exhibitions

The collection is extensive, so choose an interest instead of trying to finish every gallery. Spending longer with ceramics, sculpture or a historical period can make the visit more memorable. Check permanent displays and special exhibition admission separately.

Plan around the weather and the visiting programme.

2–3 hours
