Koryo Museum, History museum in Kaesong, North Korea.

The Koryo Museum occupies the buildings of the Songgyungwan complex, featuring over 1,000 artifacts from the Goryeo Dynasty through multiple exhibition halls.

The museum buildings were reconstructed in 1602 after the original structures from 992 AD were destroyed during the Imjin War of 1592.

The collection includes metal type printing blocks, celadon pottery, and astronomical instruments that demonstrate the technological advances of the Goryeo period.

International visitors can explore the museum with guides who explain the exhibits, and purchase diverse items at the museum store.

The museum store sells propaganda-themed artwork, postcards, and local ginseng products that reflect North Korean perspectives on various social topics.
