Excursions on Saturday afternoon
On Saturday, 11:30 AM 29th June, there will be only one organized tour to The 3rd Tunnel.
The 3rd Tunnel
Only 44 kilometers, or less than an hour's drive, from Seoul, the third tunnel was discovered in October 1978. Almost identical in structure to Tunnel, the 1,635meter-long tunnel, 1.95 meters high and 2.1 meters wide, penetrates 435 meters south of the Military Demarcation Line at a point only 4 kilometers south of the Truce Village of Panmunjom.
It runs through bedrock at a depth of about 73 meters below ground. Capable of moving a full division per hour, plus their weapons, it is evidently designed for a surprise attack on Seoul. Almost identical with Tunnel? in structure, this tunnel is only 2 kilometers from a key outpost defending the Munsan corridor leading to Seoul.

The NMK is working hard to make your museum experience more pleasant and enjoyable, by planning a number of exciting upcoming exhibitions, providing docents to give tours in six different languages, and entertaining and educating kids in our Children¡?s Museum. We have many educational programs specifically designed to suit different groups so that information about our numerous relics and works of art is more accessible to everyone.

3. Gyeongbokgung Palace
The palace was named Gyeongbokgung, the "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven." With Mount Bugaksan to its rear and Mount Namsan in the foreground, the site of Gyeong-bokgung Palace was at the heart of Seoul and, indeed, deemed auspicious according to the traditional practice of geomancy. In front of Gwanghwamun Gate, the main entrance to the palace, ran Yukjo-geori (Street of Six Ministries, today's Sejongno), home to major government offices. Along the central axis upon which Gwang-hwamun Gate stood was the nucleus of the palace, including the throne hall, reception hall and king's residence. The government ministry district and main buildings of Gyeongbokgung Palace formed the heart of the capital city of Seoul and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty.
