Buddhist Art of Gangwon, the Path to Enlightenment

강원의 불교미술, 깨달음을 찾는 길

Important temples like Woljeongsa and Yujeomsà maintained their prominence through the dynasties. The exhibition invites you to journey toward enlightenment, confront suffering, and reach ultimate peace.

1
Check opening hours on the museum's official site
Many Korean national museums close one day a week, often Mondays — worth checking before you make the trip.
2
Book a time slot for the most popular exhibitions
The most anticipated temporary exhibitions sometimes limit access to online time-slot reservations, especially on weekends.
3
Permanent collections are often free
Only certain special or temporary exhibitions charge admission — the permanent collection itself is free to enter at most national museums.
