National Museum of Korea, A Treasure Trove of History and Art

A perfect getaway to dive into the nation’s heritage for art lovers. My favorite spot is The Room of Quiet Contemplation, where the iconic Pensive Bodhisattva statues radiate tranquility and serenity. Standing before these masterpieces from 6th century felt like stepping into a meditative moment frozen in time. A peaceful place where modern citizens and tourists can appreciate the power of reflection away from the city. The museum also impresses with high-quality special exhibitions. The recent From Gustav Klimt to Egon Schiele showcase was nothing short of inspiring. Great idea to visit at the night opening on Wednesdays to see the stunning night views of museum lights. I would always return for the timeless stories from art and healing moments. #koreatrip #seoul #artexplorer #museum #citygetaway
