Discovering The Past At The Seoul Museum Of History

Old and new, recent and ancient, whatever defines South Korea can be found at the local history museum.

Go handmade wooden boat with linen sails or go home.

A special exhibition marking 70 years of cooperation with the USA. Soft power to keep the bonds strong. 1970s apartment kitchen. Asian kitsch.

A random greatest hits of post-war economic progress. Electronics, toys, some liquors, and pop music.

Re-creating a grimy noodle shop. Which, thankfully, can still be found around the city. Endangered?

A display of books about Korea from around the world. Enlightening, curious, and maybe offensive.
