The National Folk Museum of Korea is Korea’s leading institution dedicated to preserving the legacy of traditional Korean life, attracting more than two million visitors annually. As such we serve an educational and cultural role, providing you with opportunities to experience first-hand how Koreans lived in traditional times. The NFMK was established in 1945 and has remained dedicated to historical investigation and research as well as the collection, preservation and exhibition of artifacts related to Korean folk ways. Over the years, we have presented our findings and collection in the form of theme exhibits, reports and public lectures. We are focusing on our museum visitors more than ever while adopting a more open and specialized approach to remain in step with the changing paradigm for museums in the 21st century.
