National Museum of Korea
This striking new National Museum of Korea was opened in October 2005 in a new location within Yongsan Family Park. It looked more like a vast spaceship structure, rather than a museum. The majestic main building was constructed of marble, steel and glass, with an ultra modern look.On displayed were national treasures from various dynasties; paintings from the Chosun Dynasty, tomb treasures from the Shilla Dynasty, bronze incense burner from the Baekje dynasty, cartography section displaying old maps dated back to 15th century, calligraphy showing how Korean language were influenced by Chinese characters, jewellery and accessories used in the Baekje Dynasty, Buddhist sculptures and so for.In particular, we enjoyed watching a traditional folk dance and observed some of the traditional customs in a traditional Korean wedding. My sister and hubby even get to “play” the bride and groom...
