On December 20, 1962, South Korea's ruling Supreme Council for National Reconstruction passed into law a list of treasures designating gates, temples, sculptures, crowns, manuscripts, paintings, etc. as national treasures. The Japanese occupation government in Korea had drafted the first list of Korean cultural treasures in 1938, modeling the list after the National treasures of Japan. Numerous additions have been added to the list since 1962, most recently in 2004. There are now 307 national treasures on the list, some composed of a large number of sub-entries.

Korea relaunched the national treasures designation project partly as a way of recovering Korean tradition and heritage after a period of Japanese occupation and the devastation of a civil war. There is no better way to understand the heart of Korean culture than by visiting and beholding the National Treasures.
