This vast and imposing concrete slab of a museum takes visitors on a fascinating journey through Korea's past from prehistory all the way to the Korean Empire period (1897–1910).

#winhkflight The Room of Quiet Contemplation invites visitors to witness two pensive bodhisattva statues, each revered as a National Treasure. Crafted in the late sixth and early seventh century, these statues exude timeless serenity as they sit in deep contemplation, their right legs crossed over the left and fingers gently touching their cheeks. Utilizing advanced casting techniques of their time, these statues epitomize a blend of simplicity and grandeur, symbolizing enlightenment and reflection on the human condition. As I stroll through the dimly lit corridor, I am drawn to the tranquil presence of these statues, inspiring deep thoughts and introspection about life's journey. Hope you with flight to Hong Kong and see Tian Tan Buddha statue #cherryblossom2024 #koreatrip

This was my first time visiting a museum in Seoul, South Korea. Inside, it is divided into zones where you can enter for free, but you can donate money instead, and an exhibition area where you have to pay an entrance fee. The interior is quite large, and you can walk around all day without getting bored. It showcases the history of South Korea, the way of life, arts, and culture. There are also exhibitions of other countries as well.

📍Seoul, National Museum of Korea This is the National Museum of Korea that I visited to see the Bangasayusang. You can fully enjoy the tranquility by entering the room of thought where two Bangasayusangs are placed side by side. The pavilion located in the National Museum of Korea and the view of Namsan from here are also really beautiful, so make sure to take your time! #SeoulTravel

Absolutely amazing museum that's completely FREE! Beautiful architecture and the design of the building and the pond in front is stunning. The museum contains a comprehensive historical account of Korea and also contains some international influenced exhibits/galleries of the neighboring countries/areas. The impressive digital 360 degree projection exhibit is a highlight that transforms the room that you're in and takes you to another dimension.#couplestrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood

#placestogowithkids #NationalMuseumofKorea #museum #museum Let's visit the National Museum of Korea, which is really great to visit with kids!!! It's a meaningful place where you can see our country's history and various records that symbolize it with your own eyes, so it will be a good opportunity and experience for kids!!! Because it shows our country's history, you can easily see many foreigners visiting, appreciating the exhibits, and learning about Korea, so I think it can be a chance for kids to see foreigners too! I think it will be a good experience for both kids and parents because it's a chance for us adults to see our country's history that we've forgotten for a long time.

📍Seoul Yongsan-gu Seobinggo-ro 137, National Museum of Korea Special Exhibition Hall ⏰ 10:00 - 18:00 (Wed, Sat 10:00 -21:00) The hottest exhibition these days! I visited the 600 Years of Habsburg, Fascinating Masterpieces. I usually like exhibitions, so I often go alone, but this exhibition was very competitive because the works were all brought directly from Austria... In particular, it was an especially precious time because there are not many opportunities in Korea to see portraits of Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, and Maria Theresa, which Koreans are familiar with, in person! The works owned by the Habsburg family were enormous, and I was so satisfied with the results I saw even though I barely managed to get them in! If you have more time during the exhibition period, it is a place where you can have fun with family, friends, and couples, so I recommend you visit during the remaining period!😊 #IndoorDate #HotPlace #InMyPick #Couples #DateCourse #Exhibition

You can't miss out on an indoor date☺️ The hottest exhibition right now is the Habsburg Exhibition at the National Museum of Korea ✨ You can see artworks full of the charm of the time in one place 🥰 I recommend the open run on weekends because it's crowded! 📍National Museum of Korea: 137 Seobinggo-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul #IndoorDate

#IndoorDate #Habsburg I visited the National Museum of Korea's Habsburg exhibition that features masterpieces from its 600-year history🌼 My eyes were feasted on gorgeous portraits, including the emperors of the 600-year dynasty, the portraits of Princess Margarita, who first entered our country, and Marie Antoinette! There are many paintings and works that are of outstanding value, from the textures to the colors felt in the still lifes. I highly recommend you don't miss the hottest exhibition with ticketing these days.

In order to understand the history and traditions of any country, it is very effective to visit the national museum^^ The National Museum of Korea, located in Seoul, is a representative historical museum of Korea, showing various historical and cultural heritages to the general public. I highly recommend it to those who want to see and feel our cultural assets with their own eyes, especially families with children^^ . ℹ️ National Museum of Korea ➡️ 137 Seobinggo-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul National Museum of Korea ➡️ Near Exit 2 of Ichon Station. Free admission to permanent exhibitions ➡️ Recommended as a course with the nearby Hangeul Museum . #SeoulTravel #MuseumTour #SeoulExhibition #PlacesToVisitInYongsan

I wanted to spend a meaningful weekend with my son who is now in the upper grades I took the subway instead of driving The Ichon Station underground passage is so well connected that I went to the #National Museum of Korea without worrying about parking My son, who was bored with social history He showed interest when I explained the relics and ruins in the textbook This is half the success! The route from the Paleolithic Age to the Korean Empire was well-organized on the first floor, so it was even easier to see I had pork for lunch at the restaurant inside^^ I filled my stomach and easily finished the 10,000-mile walk ^^ Go to the National Museum of Korea to study history with your child^^

#IndoorDate Exhibition of 600 Years of Habsburg Masterpieces 96 pieces of Habsburg art collection on display to commemorate the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Austria, at the center of European history for about 600 years Scheduled to be on display at the National Museum of Korea's Special Exhibition Hall until March 1 It was an exhibition that made you feel nostalgic about your trip to Europe.

The space I was most looking forward to while planning my visit to the National Museum of Korea was the Room of Thought. The large space where I could fully focus on the statue of the Buddha allowed me to quietly contemplate the value of cultural assets. Afterwards, I was able to spend a quiet but deep indoor date with my children while individually searching for the characteristics of the artifacts. #IndoorDate #NationalMuseumofKorea #RoomofThought #MuseumTour

The National Museum of Korea is trying to become a place that goes beyond simply viewing relics to increase interest in cultural assets through various experiences. On the second floor, there was a space where children could find the difference in paintings and get interested. The children couldn't take their eyes off the Japanese pavilion on the third floor either. We had a fun end to our museum date after a long time. #indoordate #nationalmuseumofkorea #museum #exhibitionrecommendation

This is the National Museum of Korea with a room of private interest :) I heard the atmosphere was amazing, so I went alone!

It doesn't take long to look around, so everyone should come and visit~ #citytour #seoultour #safetour #nationalmuseumofkorea

When you enter the video room, there is a room where you can experience decorating a bookcase, and next to it is a video room. Not only the panoramic video, but also the sound that is comparable to a movie theater, and the storytelling that draws you in... I was so immersed in the video that I didn't even realize how much time had passed. Currently, they are showing a Buddhist view of the afterlife and reincarnation, so don't miss it and visit.🤗

#WinterTravel #IndoorDate #NationalMuseumofKorea #ExhibitionRecommendation To commemorate the 130th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Austria, I visited the 'Habsburg 600 Years, Fascinating Masterpieces' exhibition, which brought in 96 pieces from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, and presented a high-quality exhibition. It's a huge exhibition where you can see the 600-year history and collection of the Habsburg dynasty, which started as a small noble family in Switzerland and ruled most of Europe except England and France. 😁 I didn't realize how much time had passed while appreciating the gorgeous armor, delicate crafts, and paintings! 🤩 You can actually see the works of famous artists such as Van Dyck and Rubens, and you can also see the armor and helmet sent by Emperor Gojong to commemorate the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and Austria on Korean soil for the first time in 130 years!
