In Seoul, there is a place you can find
the essence of traditional Korean culture.
Being filled with history
and culture at every corner,
the whole neighborhood will seem
like at museum in Seongbuk-dong.
The Korea Furniture Museum is located
in Seongbuk-dong at the foot of Bugak Mountain.
Once you enter, it will feel like
going back to the Joseon era
as all the buildings in this
special museum are 'Hanok'.
The 'Hanok', which are made similar to the ancient
palaces and houses, shows the dignity of tradition.
Just like the elegance of the exterior 'Hanok',
the furniture on display exude the beauty of Korean tradition.
Let's learn about the wood grains and the antique furniture
that still remain intact from an expert commentator.
The 'Dwiju' is a chest that was used to store grains.
The chest has been built sturdy like the 'Hanok'
to withstand weight and prevent moisture build-up.
Full of the 'Hanok' atmosphere,
the Korea Furniture Museum that radiates
the housing culture of Korea
with its simple furniture should not be missed.
If you walk 500m from the Korea Furniture Museum,
you will come upon another unique location.
Housing a collection of stone artifacts found
throughout Korea is the Korean Stone Art Museum.
As the patron saint of graves
and protector of villages,
these cute 'Dongja' statues were
also known to listen to your wishes.
Both countries will definitely
prosper like the wish, right?
In the outdoor exhibition,
you can see large Buddha statues
and sculptures that embraces the life of Korean ancestors,
which is brimming with the basic human desire to live
a long, healthy, comfortable, and happy life.
The quiet neighborhood of Seongbuk-dong
overlooks the city of Seoul.
As it is full of cultural treasures and museums,
why not experience traditional Korean culture
and art in a special way by visiting this area?
