History Museums · Shopping · Parks
Museums in South Korea preserve the rich cultural heritage of this highly urbanized and modernized Asian country. Many, including some of the most popular like Gyeongbokgung Palace and War Memorial of Korea, are located in the country's sprawling capital. The content-rich exhibits at The National Folk Museum of Korea shed light on the country's past and people, but to fully immerse yourself in centuries-old traditions, visit Korean Folk Village, a living museum. The island of Jeju boasts some interesting specialty museums, such as O'Sulloc Tea Museum and Haenyeo Museum, which gives an inspiring introduction into the local culture of female free-divers.
