Interesting Korean history lesson. The guide was knowledgeable but the no picture inside is stupid!!

It was a very amazing experience for me. The best feeling was I got a chance to sit and look outside the window to see how it feels like to be a Noble Lady :) The collection was great, the tour guide gave you a detailed explanation. You need to take off your shoes so use something that’s not complicated. For anyone who wants to experience Korean culture it’s a very rare good chance to go here. Ps: you can take a bus to go here ( just make sure you install Naver Map), and you have to book in advance for English Tour.
Took the english tour and was floored by the beauty of hanok. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was excellent in her answers. Please note that there is limited photography of the museum as well as difficulty in walking/accessibility (both to the museum and inside the museum). I highly recommend taking a taxi to it as well as calling a taxi from it after the tour.
Pretty disappointed... comparing to its price... you can visit much better places in Korea. Due to covid I had to take the tour with Koreans (mostly elderly....). Noisy (phone ringing) not waiting in line. Inside? Not much... you can easily find all of that at the folk museum. No photos inside..no book or paper on that museum. Too small. But indeed beautiful. Looks like a house from Joseon. Of course for rich people.
No photos allowed . There were many things I would like to remember and ideas I'd like to share with friends but can't. The traditional house was the highlight for us. There is no sidewalk from the nearest bus stop, so not very accessible via public transit - but doable if you are adventurous. Would be 5 star if photos were allowed.
Surprisingly interesting and the pieces are beyond beautiful. They also talk a lot about the architecture of traditional Korean homes. Making a reservation online is the only way to see the space.
Absolutely beautiful and well-organized tour. No pictures allowed, except in one area of a courtyard. You have to remove your shoes during one part of the tour- I'd wear shoes that easily slips on and off. Remember to make a reservation and English tours are not available everyday. Worth it!
A fantastic experience which guests could 'time-travel back' to Joseon dynasty. Though the name of this beautiful museum is Korea Furniture Museum (Kofum), it covers a bigger scope beyond just a collection of Joseon furniture. The premise houses ten restored hanuks (which were built without nails and by wood joinery techniques) with these furniture inside, providing a context of how people (aristocrats) of Joseon used to live and how the furniture were used. The English guided tour lasted about an hour, though short but pretty intensive. Though some may think the entrance fee is high, it's worth it, well curated and lots of information like the design of various types of cabinets, tables, book-cases, etc. After which could get close to the furniture and observe the craftsmanship. An interesting section was the lady's quarter where it displayed and described how a Joseon Queen was dressed with her 6-layer costume before putting on the heavy head-gear. As the Lady mostly stayed indoor, her room would get the best view and with a large window looking out. The guide would invite the guests to sit on the floor and experience the scenery (as what the Lady in past did). Please note no photography is allowed inside the museum. Around the compound, the guide did not insist. Overall, a nice museum to truly experience Korean tradition, aesthetic and culture, just wish the tour could be slower.
