Seoul's Hanseong Baekje Museum offers a free interactive history class for elementary grades 4–6 school groups across South Korea, not individual families. The official fall 2026 programme 'Seoul Up Close, Discover Baekje' runs from September 10 to December 11, generally on Thursdays and Fridays in one of two live Zoom slots: 09:30–10:30 or 10:30–11:30. Each 60-minute slot is reserved for a classroom group.
Pupils discover how Baekje developed with its early capital at Hanseong, using the museum's historical objects in a class linked to the elementary social studies curriculum. After roughly ten minutes of login and equipment setup, the teacher-led session uses illustrated explanations, quizzes, artifact-character missions and a memory game. Printed teaching materials are shipped to the school's submitted address, and the class teacher needs to distribute them before the session. Prepare a stable connection, computer, webcam, microphone and an appropriate classroom screen.
Teachers apply through Seoul's public service reservation system, first come, first served, and may register one classroom per teacher login. The page header shows applications from August 25 at 10:00 to November 27 at 00:00, while the detailed notice also says registration can end when sessions fill. Check the exact slot's status and any KakaoTalk notice distinguishing confirmed from waitlisted. Cancellations are allowed until 14 days before class, and not after materials have been shipped.
October 15–30 classes use a separate joint programme with Seoul Museum of History called 'From Hanseong to Seoul', so do not mistake those for the regular Baekje lessons. Public holidays and museum events may also remove some sessions. For practical questions call +82-2-2152-5838 or 5839.
