A Family Trip to the National Museum of Korea During Chuseok Holiday
Hello everyone! It's Kotrasyu here!
Did you all have a wonderful Chuseok holiday?
We were wondering where to take the kids, and we ended up visiting the National Museum of Korea!
To be honest, I'm not very familiar with museums myself.^^;
But thanks to my brother-in-law and his family, we went along! There wasn't much traffic on the way,
but I think we waited a long time at the entrance!
I got out with the kids while my husband parked and we started looking around.
Walking around, I saw many foreigners, and the huge buildings caught my eye.
The sounds of Samulnori (traditional Korean percussion music) were quite loud, so we followed the sound and found the performance stage.
We took the escalator up to watch the performance, but we only heard the final bows as we arrived!
It seemed like the stage performance was held about twice a day,
so it would be good to check the schedule before you visit! ^^*
It had been raining earlier and the skies were overcast. I thought there wouldn't be many people, but
despite the cloudy weather, there were still many visitors.
The museum is divided into floors 1, 2, and 3, but
the kids are too young to see all the floors, and since it was our first visit,
we mainly looked around the 1st floor and then moved on to the 3rd floor to see the Ancient Greece and Rome exhibits.
They had touch screens that kids would enjoy,
which drew their attention! The kids had fun, but it took up a lot of time! lol
After seeing the woodblock of the Daedongyeojido (a large-scale map of Korea), we moved on to the 3rd floor.^^
Our 4-year-old son fell asleep,
so we rested on a bench for a while. We decided to save the parts we didn't see for next time,
and then we went to have dinner! ^^
We jokingly said we should go eat Namsan Tonkatsu (pork cutlet),
and that's where we ended up going! We even found parking.
This is the regular Tonkatsu.
And this is the Cheese Tonkatsu~
The taste wasn't as special as we expected, but
since it was everyone's first time, we enjoyed the meal with a special feeling,
and then went home! ^^
