Il National Museum of Korea è il principale museo del Paese dedicato alla storia e all’arte coreane e ripercorre la cultura della penisola dalla preistoria all’età moderna. Le sue sei gallerie permanenti custodiscono tesori come la corona d’oro di Silla, le due statue del Bodhisattva pensoso e la pagoda a dieci piani dell’epoca Goryeo, proveniente dal tempio di Gyeongcheonsa. Trasferito nel 2005 nell’attuale campus di Yongsan, costruito appositamente per ospitarlo, il museo propone inoltre un programma a rotazione di importanti mostre temporanee internazionali.
