seoul, heart of korea culture

Seoul is a city characterized by variety 
and cultural vibrancy.
 The city has over 700
museums, including the National Museum
and the National Folk Museum – which 
boast extensive collections - and numerous
performance centers such as the Se-jong
Center for Performing Arts and the National
Theater. In addition, the city has more than
400 galleries exhibiting everything from the
most contemporary modern art to traditional
Korean furniture and African artifacts. Alternatively, 
enjoy traditional festive dances, eat like the Choseon emporers, 
or visit a Bukcheon traditional house (a Hanok) in the town of the
 Choseon dynasty. For a taste of the contemporary, experience a wide

range of modern and fusion culture, then go to world-class performances like ‘NANTA’, ‘JUMP’ and ‘B-boy’. Not tired yet? You can also see performances at Daehakro, Seoul Playground and Citizen’s park, all outdoor cultural spaces in Seoul.
