National Museum of Korea Yongsan: MU:DS Goods, Exhibitions, and Visitor Guide

The National Museum of Korea in Yongsan, Seoul, is currently drawing significant attention not only for its historical artifact exhibitions but also for its stylish souvenirs and goods under the brand 'MU:DS'. The museum's goods shop has become a popular spot for both international tourists and local visitors, showcasing creatively reinterpreted designs of artifacts seen in textbooks.

The National Museum of Korea offers free permanent exhibitions, while special exhibitions and performances require separate ticket purchases. It is conveniently accessible via public transportation, with a direct pathway from Ichon Station Exit 2. While underground and outdoor parking are available, it is advisable to visit early in the morning or use public transport during weekends and holidays due to potential congestion. The museum's merchandise stores are located in the Great Hall on the first floor and near the special exhibition entrance.

Bloggers recommend planning your route in advance and utilizing docent services due to the museum's extensive size. It is crucial to check the museum's closing days, as it is closed on New Year's Day, Seollal (Lunar New Year), and Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day). Combining a visit with nearby attractions like Yongsan Family Park or the National Hangeul Museum is also suggested for a richer experience.
