Founded in 1950, the National Theater of Korea had witnessed the suffering of the Korean War, but for the past 67 years has been standing out as the leader of art performances in Korea. 3 resident companies(The National Changgeuk Company of Korea, The National Dance Company of Korea, and The National Orchestra of Korea) which belong to the National Theater of Korea, respectively strive to recreate traditional Korean arts in modern and global ways. To show the past and future of Korean art performance in one place, it opened the National Museum of Performing Arts of Korea. To participate in the government’s welfare policy, it established a special system that makes culturally under-served populations keep in touch with art programs in and out of the Theater with its own volition.
