Summary: The National Museum of Korea is an institution that oversees the preservation of state-owned buried cultural assets excavated from across the country based on the Cultural Heritage Protection Act. In addition, it has expanded its role from an institution that establishes and educates national cultural identity to a cultural centre that responds to the diverse cultural demands of modern society. The Chungju National Museum is the 14th national museum to be located in Chungju, the central part of the Korean Peninsula, which has been geographically and historically very important as well as the core of Jungwon culture.
