Deoksugung Palace, Royal palace and art museum in Seoul, South Korea
Deoksugung combines traditional Korean construction with Western architectural elements, featuring stone walls, wooden buildings, and modern exhibition halls within its compound.
The site transformed from a royal villa in the 14th century into an imperial residence in 1897 when King Gojong established the Korean Empire.
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art within Seokjojeon Hall displays Korean art collections and international exhibitions throughout the year.
The palace opens daily except Mondays from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with direct access from City Hall Station on subway lines 1 and 2.
The palace grounds contain a 500-year-old ginkgo tree and maintain the only Western-style garden among Korean royal residences.
