National Museum of Korea

The museum exhibits 145 videotapes and 26,000 volumes on pottery, relics discovered in ancient ruins, traditional arts and crafts, and other topics on the indigenous cultural legacy of Korea.

The first floor focuses on the history of Korea with sections dedicated to each period.  It also has separate halls dedicated to the Hangul alphabet, and Korean maps throughout the ages.

The second and third floors contain artwork from each period of Korean history, a large area dedicated to Buddhist artwork, donation exhibitions, and a limited selection of art from other Asian countries.

There is a cafeteria inside the first floor and across the entrance near the special exhibition hall there is a larger food court, museum store, cloak room, and a children's musuem.  There are also lockers available for 100 won.
