The National Museum of Korea is the country's largest and most comprehensive museum — and admission is free. It houses over 300,000 artifacts spanning Korean history from prehistoric times to the modern era.
BTS officially visited the museum in 2020, and it was used as a filming location for "Dear Class of 2020." More recently, the museum's famous Emille Bell — a national treasure — had its sound featured in the ARIRANG album track "No.29."
For fans interested in the cultural roots behind BTS's Arirang album, this museum provides essential context. You can see the very artifacts and art that shaped the Korean identity BTS carries in their music.
