Seven moves, and an opening in Yongsan in 2005

The notes stay with the National Museum of Korea. After liberation in 1945, they write, it moved seven times. A slip in the notes — a word for reclamation — is read here as the opening in Yongsan in October 2005.

They write that yearly visitors were three million, and that it was among the world’s top ten museums. Those numbers are left as the notes’ then-present wording, not as unofficial totals for today. The museum oversees twelve national museums in the regions.

A fortress exterior, and a courtyard toward Namsan

The exterior, they write, is like a fortress.

An open courtyard, a rereading of the wooden hall of a hanok, looks toward Namsan.

Where the notes stop

A later shop recap of exhibition halls, and of proposals for attracting foreign visitors, is left unread on this page.

The stretch ends on that courtyard and the view of Namsan. The same Korean report, at fuller length, is on CampusDown.

Frequently asked questions

What history of the museum do the notes keep, and how should the 2005 figures be read?

After liberation in 1945, they write, the museum moved seven times. A phrase that it “opened” in Yongsan in October 2005 is written in the notes with a slip (a word for reclamation) and is read here as an opening. They also write that yearly visitors were three million, and that it was among the world’s top ten museums. Those numbers are left as the notes’ then-present wording, not as unofficial totals for today. The museum oversees twelve national museums in the regions.

What do they say about the building and the courtyard?

The exterior is like a fortress. An open courtyard, a rereading of the wooden hall of a hanok, looks toward Namsan.

Where do the notes stop?

They stop at that courtyard and the view of Namsan. A later shop recap of exhibition halls, and proposals for attracting foreign visitors, is not used.
