Description
Tracing five hundred years back to Joseon
dynasty and picture yourself standing in the
center of Geunjeongjeon Hall of the royal place.
Gyeongbokgung Palace is built in 1394 as a primary
residence for the royal family. Geunjeongjeon,
the largest and most impressive building in
the palace, served as the throne room and audience
hall. Gyeonghoiru, a spacious two-story pavilion,
overlooks a picturesque man-made pond just northwest
of the throne hall. It served as a feasting
hall for gatherings of royal ministers and diplomats.
The National Folk Museum displays the lifestyle
of ancient Koreans. There are 20,000 vestiges,
with a total of 4,000 folk relics. The “Hall
of Korean Lifestyle” shows the lifestyles
of Koreans from pre-historic times to the Joseon
Period (1392~1910). You can compare the cultural
characteristic and vestiges by period and you

implements and prints. The “Hall of Koreans
at Work” displays tools for farming, hunting,
fishing, along with clothes and houses. It includes
handicrafts, accessories, dishes & Kimchi.
