Explore the National Museum of Korea with a guide who introduces about 10 carefully selected Korean artifacts, then create your own artwork at a Hangeul calligraphy workshop. While admiring key masterpieces such as the Pensive Bodhisattva, you'll learn about ideas in Korean art like balance, simplicity, empty space, soft lines, and calm emotion. After the museum visit, use a Korean brush pen to write a meaningful word in Hangeul, such as your name, a favorite K-pop artist, or a song lyric. Your finished piece can become a bookmark or art postcard to take home. The tour runs in a small group of up to 5 participants.

Meet about 10 carefully selected
Korean artifacts at the National Museum of Korea

The tour begins in the lobby of the National Museum of Korea, one of the country's most important cultural institutions. Rather than trying to see every exhibit in this vast museum, you'll focus on about 10 meaningful Korean artifacts chosen by your guide, with commentary in English.

Feel the spirit of Korean art before the Pensive Bodhisattva

Instead of memorizing names and dates, the focus is on understanding the ideas and emotions behind Korean art. Admire key works including the Pensive Bodhisattva and discover concepts such as balance, simplicity, empty space, soft lines, and calm emotion.

Create your own Hangeul calligraphy with a brush pen

After the museum, take a short guided walk to the calligraphy venue. Using a Korean brush pen and calligraphy supplies, choose a word that means something to you, such as your Korean name, the names of family or friends, a favorite K-pop artist, a song title or short lyric, or a Korean phrase you learned while traveling.

Your local guide gives step-by-step instructions. Your finished work can become a bookmark or art postcard to take home as a personal souvenir.
