National Folklore Museum of Korea

This large, unique-design building with beautiful landscaping opened as Korea's first real national museum (featuring royal, aristocratic and ancient artifacts) in 1972, but since 1990 it has become the museum of Korea's common people (90% of the population). There are three main of galleries on the one floor covering every aspect of Korea's traditional lifestyles and cultural identity, around the year in all seasons, and throughout the human life-cycle. Shamanism and folklore are emphasized. There are also some great outdoor displays of old buildings and village-level stone monuments. I have been a guide in it dozens of times, and am an expert on its displays. I can guide you around the best parts, according to your particular interests, offering deep commentary so that you understand everything you're looking at quite thoroughly. We can move faster or slower, as you wish. There is a good café inside, and a Children's Museum; with great restaurants nearby.
