The National Museum of Korea continues to enjoy immense popularity, but it is currently facing a headache due to recent acts of vandalism.
Yes, recent graffiti featuring phrases like "OO was here," along with hearts and smiley faces, was discovered on the walls of the Uigwe Gallery on the second floor of the permanent exhibition hall at the National Museum of Korea.
Even the name of a middle school and a specific individual's name were clearly left behind.
Although the museum attempted to remove the graffiti, it was reportedly carved deep into the wall, leaving lingering traces.
The problem is that scratch marks made with pencils and ballpoint pens have also been found in other exhibition areas.
While the museum restricts the entry of writing instruments and provides advance etiquette education for group visitors, there are limitations to controlling such a vast exhibition space entirely.
Ultimately, the museum has decided to repaint the entire exhibition hall during its regular closure day in coming December.
