The historical division between the North and South Korea leaves citizens with no options to see several artistic and natural works. The marvels, ranging from Mount Myohyang to the Kumgang Mountains and the geography of Pyongyang to the Amrok River near the North Korean border with China, can be observed through historical paintings available in the Korea University (KU) Museum. The museum is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM every Monday to Saturday except for holidays, is free to enter for everyone, but requires reservations for groups of more than 10 individuals.

Many artworks that can be observed include, Yayeonsajundo, a painting describing Kim Jeong-seo’s victory against the Yeojin tribes on the northern border during the reign of King Sejong the Great. Furthermore, an arrow is observed to hit the wine barrel, yet Kim is not frightened and continues with his banquet. Another work, Dongguke Yeodo: Hamgyeongdo, is a map of Korea of the Hamgyeong Province drawn during the 1800s. The map is part of a collection comprising seven volumes, which overall, exhibit the true beauty of Korea one cannot easily observe.
