The National Folk Museum is a well-known comprehensive museum in Seoul. It is suitable for bringing children. It is worth a visit. It feels not as big as a museum in a county in China.

Looking around the Jingfu Palace Gate, you can see that the pagoda is the museum. The sun's descendants are also photographed here. There are Korean customs and cultures from ancient times to the present, such as food festivals, holiday weddings and so on. The opposite side of the museum is the Art Museum.
