One of the 'must visit' place in Seoul. This is the best museum in Korea I've ever been. Their exhibit is very intimate. Not just showing things from the past in the glass compartments, they actually built an old style houses in the museum so we can sit and feel what it's like. You can learn about history, culture, food, clothes, games, farming culture... most of everything about Koreans life in the old days. It is located in a very convenient location; right in the center of the city, next door of Gyeongbok Gung, one of the main palaces in Seoul. Highly ecommended!

    The National Folk Museum is located in Gyeongboo Palace. It is the most representative Korean life and culture museum. So when you come to Gyeongboo Palace, you will usually come here to visit. It displays nearly 4,000 ethnic materials. It is the only one in Korea that fully displays the history of folk life. National Comprehensive Museum Museum consists of four floors above ground and top floors. The basement floor is a pulp bank for keeping information. The first floor is the central hall and three permanent exhibition halls and lecture halls. The second floor is the administrative office. The third floor is the reading room. The first hall is the Korean National Life Exhibition Hall. The second exhibition hall of the history of people's life from prehistoric times to the Korean era (1392-1910) is an agricultural exhibition hall. It shows people the scene of farming, fishing and hunting, and clothing, houses, handicrafts, decorations, bowls, pickles and sauce tanks. It can make people's life look more straighter. The third exhibition hall is the Korean Life Exhibition Hall, which displays the life of Koreans at all stages such as birth, adult ceremony, wedding ceremony, sacrifice. The outdoor display of the museum is the folk landscape such as the old man of Jeju Island, the water raft, the stone raft, the melon shed and other folk landscapes. Walking outdoors is completely different. Feelings

    People interested in Korean history and culture are highly recommended to come to this place, the museum is completely free and the location is very convenient! There are 3 permanent exhibition halls inside, which are a day of Koreans, a year of Koreans and a lifetime of Koreans, fully showing the history and culture of this country. There are many interactive exhibits in the museum, which is very interesting.

    Recently, the weather in Seoul was very good, so I went to check in the Seoul National Folk Museum of the same style in 1988, just next to Gyeongboo Palace. The inside is not particularly large, but the setting is very restored to Seoul in the last century. Is there a supply and marketing agency inside? Barbershop, beauty salon, tea room coffee shop, audio-visual room, comic room, classroom, garage, canteen and other architectural setting. Among them, the comic room can be visited ~ and Cui Ze's same Go board, which has four side by side Trojan horses, which are really like the four main characters (before Aze came) sitting together when they were young in 1988! ! ! ! The whole is quite fun. If you come to Gyeongbokgung Palace, you can come and have a look.
