National Assembly Library of Korea

The National Assembly Library is a major research facility with multiple levels housing millions of books, historical documents, and digital materials. The collection serves parliament members and public researchers working in humanities, social sciences, and government documentation.

The library was established in 1952 and received materials from earlier collections when Korea regained independence from colonial rule. These origins shaped its role as a guardian of Korean knowledge and legislative records.

The collection reflects how Korean society values learning and democratic processes through public institutions. You can sense this commitment when walking through the reading areas where researchers and citizens engage with shared knowledge resources.

Access is available for visitors aged 16 and above, and the facility is well connected by public transportation. It helps to check opening hours before visiting and understand which areas are open for public use.

The library houses collections of National Treasures and rare materials from Korea's colonial period, making it a repository of objects that document an important chapter of history. Walking through the holdings reveals how objects themselves tell stories about the past.
