I will be spending a few days in Seoul, South Korea, en route to
somewhere else later this year, and would very much like to meet some
Korean museum colleagues while there.

Does anyone have any contacts in museums in Seoul (or surrounding
districts) or  have recommendations about which museums are worth a visit -
 I understand the National Museum has closed and is reopening on a
new site in 1998 I think.

Better still - are there any Korean museum-l'ers out there who could
provide some local  knowledge?
