Visitors wishing to learn more about Korean traditional
arts can now do so while waiting in the departure hall.
Incehon’s newest cultural installment, the Traditional
Experience Hall, welcomes guests from 7:00am to 10:00pm
and provides translators to guide guests with any inquiries
in English, Japanese and Chinese. The Traditional Experience
Hall remains a very popular alternative for guests on
lengthy layovers to gain hands-on experience of Korea’s
unique culture. Guests are also able to take home any
artwork they make as souvenirs.

Enjoy a traditional arts experience and fine arts
performance all under one roof. There are two traditional
arts experience programs available with courses lasting
less than 30 minutes. Visitors may choose to cut and
paste traditional Hanji
(Korean paper) to make jewelry boxes or use traditional
sewing techniques to make unique cell-phone accessories.
Also, on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, visitors
can enjoy traditional performances twice a day at the
Experience Hall featuring the gayageum
(a wooden instrument with 12 strings plucked
with the fingers), geomungo
(an instrument similar to the gayageum,
but with 6 strings), and Janggu
(a double-headed percussion instrument shaped
like an hourglass). After the performance, the performers
teach guests how to play the danso
(a short bamboo flute).

 Q:
How did you find
out about this place?
A: I
had free time before my boarding
and saw this place as I was
walking by.
Q:
Which program were you trying
out?
A:
I was making a jewelry box out
of Hanji.
It’s really fun.
Q:
Have you ever tried a Hanji
program or ever heard about
it before?
A:
No, we didn’t even hear about
Hanji
jewelry boxes in Japan. I just
thought it looked interesting
and fun, so I chose to try out
this program. It wasn’t difficult
at all, and they let me take
the jewelry box I made, so I
made very productive use of
my time.
Q:
If you had more time, what other
program would you like to try
out?
A:
There was a fan-making program
in the corner. It looked fun.
I’d like to try making one.
Q:
What did you like most about
the Traditional Experience Hall?
A:
I was tired of waiting around
the airport. At the Traditional
Experience Hall, I was able
to experience traditional programs
for free, and time flew by very
quickly. The traditional fine
arts performance was also impressive.
The gayageum
sounded beautiful.
I’ve never heard the gayageum
before today. If
you’re at the Incheon Airport,
don’t forget to stop by~
