The Korean Central Art Museum

The Korean Central Art Museum

May 2021

The Korean Central Art Museum

The Korean Central Art Museum is located in
Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang.

It was opened in 1954 and has been a home to all things Korean art ever since. It is mainly hung wall paintings, but on display you can also find some embroideries, statues, and ceramics.

The Korean Central Art Museum

A trip to the Korean Central Art Museum takes you on a walk through the history of Korean art as you see the various styles and focuses over the years. Starting with cave paintings from ancient times, the museum takes you on a journey through different periods of Korean history up to socialist realism and the present day.

There’s 22 different rooms to look through in total, all with a large range of Korean art to look through. You could spend a few hours here – or just a few minutes, but the building is grand and impressive in itself. And thanks to the large rooms and high ceilings, can get chilly in winter!
