Deoksugung is a royal palace in Korea that was occupied by Korean royalty until the start of the Japanese occupation in 1910. It is known as one of the five main palaces in Seoul, and suffered major damage during the Japanese occupation; about two-thirds of the complex was destroyed during that time. Today, it is home to an art museum and is a major tourist attraction.
