  Description
Gyeongbokgung Palace is built in 1394 as a primary residence for the royal family. Geunjeongjeon, the largest and most impressive building in the palace, served as the throne room and audience hall. Gyeonghoiru, a spacious two-story pavilion, overlooks a picturesque man-made pond just northwest of the throne hall. It served as a feasting hall for gatherings of royal ministers and diplomats.
The National Folk Museum displays the lifestyle of ancient Koreans. There are 20,000 vestiges, with a total of 4,000 folk relics. The "Hall of Korean Lifestyle" shows the lifestyles of Koreans from pre-historic times to the Joseon Period (1392~1910). You can compare the cultural characteristic and vestiges by period and you can see the development of pottery, agricultural implements and prints. The "Hall of Koreans at Work" displays tools for farming, hunting, fishing, along with clothes and houses. It includes handicrafts, accessories, dishes & Kimchi. The "Hall of a Korean Life Cycle" presents the life of an ancient Korean from birth to marriage to death.
