Worth the visit if you are in the area as it is free and insightful
After visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace this museum just completed the picture of everything. I spent half a day in there, it is totally worth it! It is magnificent!
One of the 'must visit' place in Seoul. This is the best museum in Korea I've ever been. Their exhibit is very intimate. Not just showing things from the past in the glass compartments, they actually built an old style houses in the museum so we can sit and feel what it's like. You can learn about history, culture, food, clothes, games, farming culture... most of everything about Koreans life in the old days. It is located in a very convenient location; right in the center of the city, next door of Gyeongbok Gung, one of the main palaces in Seoul. Highly ecommended!
An attraction inside the famed Gyeongbok Palace, a casual museum with many sections, we visited the one that highlights the lifetime of a Korea person, our tour guide was very good and informative. Excellent stop inside the palace.
