"Le Musée National de Corée n’est situé qu’à seulement 1,5km de la Gare de Yongsan. Il s’agit du plus grand musée de Corée et accueille des biens coréens précieux qui silencieusement nous content l’Histoire fascinante du pays, des temps anciens à l’ère moderne. Le musée est proche du Parc Familial de Yongsan, une sorte de prairie boisée dotée d’un pont servant d’habitat naturel pour de nombreuses espèces d’oiseaux et comprenant plus de 80 espèces d’arbres différentes. Le Musée Mémorial de la Guerre de Corée est situé à environ un kilomètre de la Gare de Yongsan vers Samgakji. Il expose une gamme intimidante de collections et reliques datant de la guerre. En plus des galeries proposant une large gamme de pièces nationales et internationales, le Musée National de Corée est la scène de nombreuses activités culturelles en relation avec la collection et la conservation de reliques, la recherche et l’analyse, la formation en groupe, les publications académiques, les programmes d’échanges culturels internationaux, et bien plus. Les visiteurs de tous âges ont l’occasion de participer à de nombreux évènements éducatifs et programmes culturels de qualité. Pour ceux préférant visiter à un rythme tranquille, le musée propose des espaces respectueux de l’environnement ainsi que des aires de repos."
