Dive into the world of Hallyu! The Korean Wave in this teacher-led visit to our summer exhibition at the National Museum.

Discover the history and events that have shaped South Korea’s global influence today and explore some of its most recognisable cultural expressions, including K-pop, K-drama, fashion and beauty, that have captured imaginations worldwide.

During this 60-minute session, teachers can lead students through more than 200 objects including historic material, K-pop costumes, film props, interactive dance displays and fandom stories, exploring connections to contemporary culture, media and social studies topics relevant to the secondary classroom.

Mature themes

This exhibition has lots of fun family friendly content, reflecting creative Korean culture in dance, music, fashion and cosmetics.

However, children must be accompanied by an adult throughout the exhibition as it includes some mature themes and imagery classified M and MA15+, not suitable for younger audiences.

One curtained section of the exhibition screens content from a film rated R18+ that is restricted to people 18 years and over. ID may be required.
