The National Hangeul Museum spans 11,322 square meters across three ground levels and a basement, containing exhibition halls, a library, and lecture rooms.
King Sejong the Great established the Korean alphabet system Hangeul in the 15th century, leading to the creation of this dedicated museum in 2014.
