National Folk Museum of Korea

The National Folk Museum of Korea stands on the grounds of Gyeongbokgung and shows how Koreans lived in past centuries. Its halls cover daily life, farming and the seasonal festivals of the year and the stages of a person's life, and its building, completed in 1972 and the museum's home since 1993, borrows forms from historic Korean temples.
