The National Museum of Korea is running its 'Smart Curator' guided tours throughout November 2026, with separate weekday and weekend reservation pages. Visitors use a museum-provided tablet while following a professional guide through the permanent exhibition. Topics include a 'Highlights of the Museum' walk and other themes across the collection.
On weekdays, Monday through Friday, the standard session is 3–4 p.m. An additional 5–6 p.m. session is scheduled for Wednesday, November 25, the month's final Wednesday. On weekends, tours run twice daily: 10:30–11:30 a.m. and 3–4 p.m. The published reservation schedule says November 7 sessions open for booking October 31 at 9 a.m.; November 8 sessions open November 1 at 9 a.m. Check the separate weekday or weekend page for the exact theme and booking link for your chosen date.
Participation is free and advance online booking is first-come, first-served. One registrant may bring up to three companions. Primary-school children must attend with a parent or guardian; the museum recommends grade four and above. Meet at the information desk in Eutteum Hall of the permanent exhibition building. Only those who receive a reservation-complete notification by KakaoTalk or text can join, and anyone arriving over ten minutes after the start cannot participate.
A waitlist entry is not a confirmed booking. Recheck your session and confirmation message before visiting.
