The National Folk Museum of Korea 🇰🇷
#cherryblossom2024
The National Folk Museum of Korea was a delightful stop on my spring vacation in Seoul! 🌸 Located within the grounds of the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace, entrance was free, making it accessible to all. As I wandered through the museum, I was transported back in time to explore the rich cultural heritage of Korea. From traditional artifacts to immersive exhibits, every corner was filled with fascinating insights into Korean history and daily life. Nearby, I marveled at the grandeur of Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty, and took a leisurely stroll around the picturesque Gwanghwamun Square. The museum was a perfect blend of education and entertainment, offering a deeper understanding of Korea's vibrant past. #NationalFolkMuseum #KoreanCulture 🏯🎎

This time, not only did I experience traditional Hanbok, but I also learned about the history of Gyeongbokgung Palace in advance, experienced traditional culture, and felt like I was traveling back to ancient times in Hanbok.
In addition, there are the National Palace Museum of Korea that displays Korean artifacts and the National Folk Museum of Korea that showcases traditional Korean style.
