The statue of King Sejong is located in Gwanghwamun Square in central Seoul. It is dedicated to the 15th-century Korean monarch Sejong the Great. King Sejong was responsible for the creation of Hangul, the Korean alphabet.

He is considered one of Korea's most famous historical figures.

The museum is open daily (except Mondays) from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.

A passage behind the Statue of King Sejong leads to the King Sejong Story Museum.

King Sejong was responsible for some of the most important achievements in Korean history, including the creation of Hangeul (the Korean alphabet) and major advances in science, culture, art, and politics. His story is told in this museum.
