Korea’s cultural heritage embodies “its intellectual and spiritual contributions to the civilization of mankind.” Cultural heritage include cultural assets that are worth preservation and natural heritages with superb scenic beauty. According to the Cultural Heritage Protection Act initiated in 1962, cultural heritage are classified into four categories; 1) Tangible Cultural Heritage, 2) Intangible Cultural Heritage, 3) Folklore Materials, and 4) Monuments. In this paper, I explore the contents of the Korean cultural heritage, the governmental system to protect the heritage, and public programs to support the system. The essence of Korean national culture, named Intangible Cultural Heritage, is preserved and promoted not only by the government but also by schools and other organizations. The government support system has not been sufficient enough to preserve the traditional culture. The public, civil, and educational organizations also have to put their faithful efforts in order to preserve and promote the precious Korean cultural heritage.
