The National Museum of Korea offers a separate Sunday family tour, 'Sunday Afternoon at the Museum', every Sunday in November 2026. Led by professional museum guides, it is designed for families with an older primary-school child. It is different from the general Smart Curator tour in both audience and timing.
The free 40-minute tour runs from 1:30 to 2:10 p.m. The published themes are the Goryeo gallery on November 1, Buddhist art on November 8, the Joseon gallery on November 15, prehistory on November 22, and the Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla galleries on November 29. A maximum of eight family groups is accepted per session on a first-come, first-served basis. Booking opens one week before the session: November 8 opens November 1 at 9 a.m., November 15 opens November 8 at 9 a.m., and so on. The November 1 session was already marked closed for registration when checked.
Participation is free. Older primary-school children attend with a parent or guardian, and the applicant may bring up to three companions. Meet at the Eutteum Hall information desk inside the permanent exhibition building. A reservation is confirmed only after receiving a booking-complete notification by KakaoTalk or text; arrivals more than ten minutes late cannot join.
Choose a gallery that matches the child's interests, then set a reminder for its actual registration opening rather than assuming all of November can be booked at once.
