King Sejong was the first king of Korea. We stumbled upon this exhibition while en-route to the the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Unfortunately the palace was closed on the day of our visit and we didn’t get to view the place. It was lucky that we got to view the exhibition or it certainly would be a wasted trip out that day.
The palace gates on the other side of the road. Love the mountain in the background.
Dioramas of Ancient Korea. They were made of clay and really life like.

The country has really evolved a lot since it was first founded.

Interesting exhibit! My sister lived in Korea for a while (she was in the Air Force). I’ve always been intrigued by the culture there. I love exploring history too. Thanks for sharing your visit! Courtney

we stayed at the Hyundai Residences. It’s near food and transport and best of all there is a washing machine and kitchenette within the hotel room.
