Hanseong Baekje Museum한성백제박물관

About

To show that Seoul is a city with 2,000 years of history, Hanseong Baekje Museum directly protects and manages sites closely tied to the history of the Baekje royal capital, and carries out research, exhibitions and education on them. The museum sheds light on Seoul's ancient history and culture and invites visitors to reflect on the meaning and value of cultural heritage. The first thing you see in the lobby is its signature exhibit: a cross-section of the Pungnaptoseong Earthen Fortification wall, thinly peeled off and put on display. Gallery 1 tells the story of the Paleolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Early Iron Age cultures of Seoul, set in the Han River basin. Gallery 2 covers the 493-year Hanseong period, when Baekje was founded, grew and flourished in what is now Seoul. Gallery 3 covers the struggle among Baekje, Goguryeo and Silla over the Han River, and Baekje's history after the fall of Hanseong.
