National Folk Museum of Korea

ChildrenHistoryClosed todayFreeAnguk Station (Line 3)

Ιδρύθηκε το 1945 και μεταφέρθηκε στη σημερινή του θέση, στους χώρους του Gyeongbokgung Palace, το 1993. Το National Folk Museum of Korea παρουσιάζει πώς έζησαν, εργάστηκαν και γιόρτασαν οι απλοί Κορεάτες από την προϊστορική εποχή έως τον 20ό αιώνα. Η συλλογή του, με περισσότερα από 98.000 αντικείμενα, εκτίθεται σε τρεις μόνιμες αίθουσες που καλύπτουν τα εποχικά έθιμα και τους σημαντικότερους σταθμούς της ζωής, ενώ στους υπαίθριους χώρους παρουσιάζονται κοινοτικά ιερά και παραδοσιακές κατοικίες. Το Children's Museum, αφιερωμένο στα παιδιά, και το πλούσιο πρόγραμμα περιοδικών εκθέσεων το καθιστούν ένα από τα πιο φιλικά προς τις οικογένειες εθνικά μουσεία της Σεούλ, με ελεύθερη είσοδο.
