The National Museum of Korea's November 2026 Curator Talks take place on November 4, 11, 18 and 25, with 18:00–18:30 and 19:00–19:30 sessions each Wednesday. The museum says no advance booking or quota is required for walk-up participation. Permanent galleries are free, but special exhibitions may charge separately.
November 4 includes Unified Silla Buddhist sculpture, museum history and bamboo motifs in ceramics; November 11 covers Korean Empire glass negatives, Chinese ceramics and Gaya–Japan connections; November 18 covers Neolithic culture, a Greek bronze helmet and Dunhuang manuscripts; November 25 includes artwork mounting, Goryeo Buddhist art, the Gwanggaeto Stele and stone-object conservation. Several talks may run simultaneously in different rooms, so check the official room-by-room timetable. For special-exhibition talks, visitors must already be inside at the stated time, and re-entry is not permitted. Talks do not run on public-holiday Wednesdays; details may change.
