The National Museum of Korea is the most representative and extensive museum in Republic of Korea. The museum holds an immense collection: it has more than 410,000 historically valuable and highly aesthetic relics ranging from the Paleolithic Age to the early 20th century, and more than 12,000 masterpieces of its collection are always on display in its permanent exhibition hall.

The museum also houses a Children's Museum, where visitors can learn more about the nation's history through educational programs and experiences. The outdoor grounds feature pagodas and other stone artworks too large to be on display inside. In addition to galleries with a wide array of national and international pieces, the National Museum of Korea is a stage for a number of cultural activities related to collection, preservation, research and analysis, social training, academic publications, intercultural exchange programs, concerts, and more.

The museum has six galleries: Prehistory and Ancient History, Medieval and Early Modern History, Donated works, Calligraphy and Painting, World Art, and Sculpture and Crafts Galleries.

The National Museum of Korea was established in 1945. In 2005, the museum extended and reopened on a site of 307,227㎡ (building area: 45,438㎡) in Yongsan, Seoul. Since its rebirth as a “cultural complex,” the National Museum of Korea not only to preserves and exhibits precious relics, but also provide various educational programs and cultural events.

The National Museum of Korea has a number of important cultural materials related to Silk Road (both land and maritime) from Central Asia, East Asia, and Korea. In particular, its unique collection of Sinan Undersea Relics which is a valuable source of information for study of ancient trade between China, Korea and Japan. A sunken Chinese trading ship was discovered in 1975, in the Korean southwest coast near Sinan, Jeollanam-do Province. The ship, carrying trade goods produced on orders from the Kyoto area, sank on its way to Japan from Ningbo in Zhejiang Province, China in 1323. About 30,000 maritime Silk Roads objects were excavated; they are 14th century Chinese goods, including celadon wears, coins, metal artifacts, medical artifacts, and many other types of objects.

Visitors can appreciate its vast collection; numerous national treasures of Korea are exhibited including Pensive Bodhisattva (a Korean National Treasure), Goryeo Celadon Openwork Burner, Ten-Story Pagoda from Gyeongcheonsa Temple Site, and Gold Crown from Silla.

In addition to the programs and contents respects mentioned above, the National Museum of Korea would be one of the best museums in the world, in terms of the size of the museum (biggest one in Asia and sixth in the world), the annual attendance figures (1st in Asia, 10th in the world in 2009), additional facilities (a theater, a cafeteria, a museum shop, education hall, conference rooms), and digital services for the exhibition (PDA, MP3 and kiosk system).

Opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday : 10:00 am ~ 6:00 pm (Final entrance at 5:30 pm); Wednesday & Saturday : 10:00 am ~ 9:00 pm (Final entrance at 8:30 pm)

Hey guys! I have to work on building an audience for my YouTube channel for a class!

I would really appreciate if you checked out my channel and subscribed to it🥹 making YouTube videos is really nerve wracking for me right now as creativity has been a bit of a difficult feat but I’m working on it :)

I put a lot of tags but everything in the tags is what I have already posted or plan to post.

I will be talking about how I study Korean and other languages in the long form videos and just general talk about what I did during study abroad and being a black woman in east Asia.

okay i have a lot of unincubated thoughts on kim’s relationship to asian-ness as filtered through my own experiences as a chinese diaspora person navigating both my home country in se asia and also canada for a period of time

also i need more lore on seol, i must flesh out the context of kim’s seolite heritage in proximity to seol’s place within the wider geopolitics and culture

if there are gaps in the lore, i will certainly fill them in myself

#disco elysium #zee.txt #i have to say that the game's depiction of seol as a stand in for east asia is still very much limited #by the fact it was written by predominantly white eastern europeans from what i know of #i could be wrong and feel free to correct me if i am #even seol looking very similar to seoul #and kim's name being an amalgamation of both korean and japanese #leans too much into the common orientalist impulse of white people to treat east asian cultures as interchangeable #especially when we have such complicated political histories #nevertheless i still heavily appreciate kim being an east-asian coded character in the game #and that the anti-asian racism that he frequently encounters is treated very seriously in the game #which i can't say the same for many non-asian media out there

Hiii everyone!

As some of you may know, I got the opportunity to come to Seoul to study Korean earlier this year. I finished Level 1, and I LOVE the Korean language and culture. I'm now hoping to study two more terms (Level 2 and 3) to help me with getting my dream job, as it requires Korean skills.

If you're in a situation that allows you to donate even a small amount, I'll be forever grateful. And if you can't, I'd be extremely happy if you could share this post :)

Thank you and much love to you all <3

Annyeonghaseyo (안녕하세요)!

In my relatively calm and intentionally ordinary life, the gift of being able to enjoy traveling to a degree that the joy is almost entirely independent from the destination and to get an immense dose of adrenaline rush out of it feels like a superpower to me. A superpower that I can turn on almost anytime to feel excited, inspired, hopeful, happy, and/or content. So when I turned 30, I kept wondering if the “old” age of 30, along with thinner hair (check), difficulty in losing weight (check), drier skin (check), would cost me something else – the joy of traveling. As if someday I would wake up, pick up my luggage to leave for the airport, and then suddenly say – “Nah, Netflix is better”. Good news, there seems to be life after 30. Now approaching 31, I am happy to report that the joy of traveling is still here, and somehow feels even more powerful than before.

Going outside the Philippines exposed me to different cultures and traditions, and through these authentic encounters, I learned to embrace and celebrate both our similarities and differences. I learned to recognise and be grateful for all of the things I usually take for granted. It is truly a humbling experience, and it gave me an appreciation, understanding and respect for different points of view and ways of life. True enough, we all need to fall off the radar, escape reality every once in a while, and enjoy complete anonymity in new and unexplored territories.

So when the opportunity knocked (my brother is presenting his thesis in South Korea), I happily opened the door with open arms.

South Korea’s eclectic, dramatically diverse experiences and startlingly unique culture mean you can have it all in one trip: art, history, food, tradition, futurism, coast, mountains and fun. You’ll first be welcomed by skyscrapers, museums, and street art around every corner; in the same neighborhood, you’ll suddenly find yourself strolling through vibrant ancient city temples, with the smell of incense and the sound of monks.

Korea is a country that works hard and plays hard — in the restaurants and bars, but also in out in nature — green spaces, parks, mountains abound. There are island getaways and vast rural areas. There really is something for everyone – but that something will be uniquely Korean.

South Korea keeps you on your toes, expecting the unexpected. What an outstanding experience. I can't wait to go back.
