The Korea Folk Museum is located beside Gyenogbokgung Palace.

When I visited the entrance ticket was free.

The Folk Museum can be accessed from outside the Palace compound, or from inside Gyenogbokgung Palace.

The museum's main building is topped with a beautiful pagoda.

When I was visiting the Palace, I didn't know this was the museum, I thought it was another building part of Gyenogbokgung Palace.

The museum has an open air part, with displays from ancient Korean rock carvings, ancient huts and houses and other daily life things from the past.

Inside the mail building are exhibits from Korean folklore and daily lofe from prehistoric times to modern days.
It's actually one of the best museums I've ever visited.


The displays are very cleverly made, there's a lot of interaction with the visitors.

On the garden of the Korea Folk Museum are those statues representing the animals of the horoscope.

 

 

 

I don't usually take pictures of displays inside a museum, but I loved this carved and colourful bier.
