Palace museum

As well as all of the historic buildings situated on the grounds of Gyeongbokgung you’ll also find modern buildings, but even these have a story. The National Palace Museum of Korea moved here in 2005, but its collections began in 1908 as the Korean Imperial Museum at Changgyeonggung Palace. The permanent collection of the museum includes royal records and artefacts of Joseon era art, music, science and much more.
