Korea National Museum

We've been on vacation this week, which has been blissful, restful, wonderful, choose your own word that means the same thing and add it here: _____________.  We had originally set out to take another cool trip, but the exchange rate has affected our financial goals, so we're staying home, resting, and taking some great day trips.  We have definitely enjoyed ourselves!

Here are some photos we took when we went to the Korea National Museum.  We only got through the first floor because it was so huge, but we learned a lot about Korean history, too.

Walkway up to the entrance.  Did I mention that admission was FREE??

This museum's architecture is famous, I think.  It was hard to capture with my camera.

When we looked through the picture "window" of the courtyard, we had a clear view of Seoul Tower.

Guess who?  The sign says "choon gong," but I don't know what that means.

Main entrance to the museum.  Wow!  

This was a really fun trip.  Normally admission is 2000 won, but today it was free, and we got an education in Korean history from 8000, BC to the present day.  They have a very long history, as you can see!
