National Folk Museum of Korea

ChildrenHistoryClosed todayFreeAnguk Station (Line 3)

Fundado em 1945 e transferido para as suas atuais instalações, no recinto do Palácio Gyeongbokgung, em 1993, o National Folk Museum of Korea retrata o modo como os coreanos comuns viveram, trabalharam e celebraram, desde a pré-história até ao século XX. A coleção, com mais de 98 000 artefactos, distribui-se por três galerias permanentes dedicadas aos costumes sazonais e às principais etapas da vida, além de exposições ao ar livre de santuários de aldeia e habitações tradicionais. Um Museu Infantil próprio e uma programação intensa de exposições temporárias fazem dele um dos museus nacionais de Seul mais acolhedores para famílias. A entrada é gratuita.
