Fundado en 1945 y trasladado en 1993 a su ubicación actual, en los terrenos del palacio Gyeongbokgung, el National Folk Museum of Korea recorre cómo han vivido, trabajado y celebrado los coreanos de a pie desde la prehistoria hasta el siglo XX. Su colección, con más de 98.000 piezas, se despliega en tres galerías permanentes dedicadas a las costumbres estacionales y a los principales ritos de paso de la vida, además de espacios al aire libre con santuarios de aldea y viviendas tradicionales. Cuenta con un museo infantil propio y un animado programa de exposiciones temporales, que lo convierten en uno de los museos nacionales de Seúl más acogedores para las familias. La entrada es gratuita.
