Jointly organized by the National Museum of Korea, its regional national museums, and participating local governments, “Tour of National Treasures: Museum for You” will be held at twelve public museums and art galleries throughout the nation, starting in June. These small but bountiful exhibitions will bring local residents face to face with iconic masterpieces that they likely recognize from media and textbooks, such as a bronzeware with agricultural designs from the Bronze Age, a splendid gold crown and a horse-and-rider-shaped vessel from Silla tombs, beautiful Goryeo inlaid celadon, and a simple yet elegant Joseon moon jar.

Representing a new type of cultural event, Tour of National Treasures: Museum for You combines precious artworks and antiquities with education and performance, offering a wealth of diverse experiences for everyone to see and enjoy. We hope that these exhibitions will enable people throughout Korea to encounter our national culture in comfort and convenience, giving them a deeper appreciation of the beauty and historical value of our rich cultural heritage.

This touring exhibition marks the first step in the National Museum of Korea’s new commitment to presenting outstanding exhibitions in collaboration with local museums. We hope that this wonderful opportunity to experience our National Treasures firsthand will enrich your lives in a special way.
