National Museum of Korea

Where can you go to see the best art, sculptures, and historic relics of Korea? Why the National Museum of Korea of course! We couldn’t believe that we spent four hours soaking it up and didn't even see everything. The museum takes you through the development and long history of good'ol K-town. We saw fascinating prehistoric artifacts, breathtaking cultural pieces, and beautiful artwork. Afterwards we asked ourselves why we hadn't been here before! 

This is only the entrance
