On Wednesdays and Saturdays, the museum is open late until 9 PM (last admission at 8:30 PM), so if it's crowded during the day, consider visiting in the evening. It's recommended to tour the exhibits by starting at the first floor of the East Building (Prehistory to the Korean Empire), then moving to the second floor's Hall of Contemplation and the Gallery of Donations, and finally to the third floor's Gallery of Foreign Cultural Properties. It's a spacious venue, so take advantage of the resting areas throughout to enjoy your visit at a leisurely pace.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \ube0c\ub79c\ub4dc \ud478\ud130 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; padding: 14px 0 0; font-size: 13px; color: #bbb; letter-spacing: .3px; border-top: 1px solid #F0F0F0;\">Curated by <strong style=\"color: #e8453c;\">ITTIKOREA<\/strong> Seoul Local Guide \u00b7 ittikorea.com<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"font-family: 'Pretendard', sans-serif; line-height: 1.7; color: #333333;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 14px; font-size: 16px;\">This is the largest museum in the country, housing approximately 400,000 cultural artifacts.
