national palace museum of South Korea
Cool museum showcasing the history and development of Korea’s royal palaces, and what everyday life was like inside them over the centuries. Exhibits on the palace architecture, design, royal fashions, food and dining culture, art, sculpture, and scientific instruments, as well as how it all changed and modernized over the centuries. Entry is free and the museum takes around 2 hours to see everything. Some reader boards are only in Korean, but mostly there’s enough English to learn a lot even if you’re not a native speaker#mytravelhacks #falltrip
