  • An excellent museum with life-like models and the authorities allow taking photos of the artefacts. Very few tourist places with English (bilingual) boards and also a detailed illustrated booklet about the artefacts. The staff is very courteous though nine can speak a word of English . The best part is that the entry is free.
  • The building needs some update as it does not have a lift to go upstairs. They provide wheelchairs and prams for your convenience. I used a pram provided with my ID card submittion. Please do not forget to take your ID back when you return. They also provide a locker to put your stuff in when inserting 100 won coin which is returnable. I love hospitality from staff. It was good enough to show my daughter about Korean folk tradition.
