The six-story building of the National Museum of Korea is ranked as the sixth largest museum in the world. The museum building is constructed so as to withstand violent oscillation in an earthquake. The architectural style harmoniously blends traditional and contemporary styles. It was built to house more than 140,000 national relics and artifacts, and also to serve as a complex cultural facility with a sculpture garden, open plaza and outdoor exhibition area. Also, artificial falls, streams, and green fields have been cultivated to create a beautifully landscaped space for visitors.
