Hanbok Museum

Description

The Hankbok Museum is not just a museum showing off Korean clothes. It shows all the events and the rituals people go through from birth to death, and what proper clothing they have to wear. You can witness in one view what proper Korean traditions are and what fitting clothes those occasions demand. All the hanboks at the museum are created by the hanbok designer Lee Ri-Ja herself, made with care and great attention to detail. All together there are about 300 kinds on display, and some are practical enough to be worn for daily living now. Besides hanboks, there are also ornaments and other small articles on display. You will fall in love with many of the beautiful ornaments you see.
