Standing beside the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan, this institution is devoted to Hangeul, the Korean alphabet devised in the fifteenth century. Its galleries trace the script's invention, the philosophy behind its design and its role in Korean literacy, printing and modern life. Interactive and multilingual displays make the writing system engaging for visitors of all backgrounds. As a museum built around a single alphabet, it offers a distinctive window into Korean identity and culture.
