National Folk Museum of Korea

ChildrenHistoryClosed todayFreeAnguk Station (Line 3)

Fondato nel 1945 e trasferito nella sede attuale, nei giardini del Gyeongbokgung Palace, nel 1993, il National Folk Museum of Korea racconta come i coreani comuni abbiano vissuto, lavorato e celebrato le ricorrenze dalla preistoria al XX secolo. La collezione, che conta oltre 98.000 reperti, si articola in tre gallerie permanenti dedicate alle usanze legate alle stagioni e ai principali riti di passaggio della vita; all’esterno sono esposti santuari di villaggio e abitazioni tradizionali. Un museo dedicato ai bambini e un vivace programma di mostre temporanee ne fanno uno dei musei nazionali di Seoul più adatti alle famiglie. L’ingresso è gratuito.
