Museum Nights Guide🖼️

Explore Korean History at the National Museum of Korea 🏺🇰🇷
Dive into centuries of culture and art at Seoul’s National Museum of Korea—an impressive, free-entry treasure trove perfect for museum lovers, history buffs, and anyone dodging bad weather!

🗺️ Start your journey with the main exhibition halls, wandering from prehistoric artifacts to intricate Joseon ceramics. Don’t miss the Buddhist Paintings Gallery, and carve out extra time for the frequently stellar special exhibitions (well worth the hype and sometimes themed by season!).

📸 For Instagrammable moments: snap the soaring columns in the lobby, panoramic views from the central staircase, and tranquil Lotus Pond outside—gorgeous in every season, but especially dreamy in autumn colors.

💡 Pro Tips:
– Getting here: Take Exit 2 from Ichon Station—it's just a short stroll!
– Entrance is free (bonus!), but special exhibitions may require a ticket.
– No flash photography: Respect signage and help preserve priceless artifacts.
– Museum bags are best kept small; lockers available on site for bigger backpacks.
– If you work up an appetite, the museum café has traditional treats and solid coffee.

⏰ Opening hours: Most days 10:00–18:00. On Wednesdays & Saturdays, stay late—open until 21:00 for extra exploring after sunset! (Last entry 30 min before closing. Closed some Mondays, so always check ahead).

🚸 Precaution: It’s a spacious building—wear comfy shoes, and parents should keep tabs on energetic kids near delicate displays.
