A concentrated area of Korean
traditional houses, Bukchon
Hanok Village is home to five unique museums that can be

Embroidery Museum, Dong-Lim Knot Museum, Museum of Korean Buddhist
Art, and Seoul Museum of Chicken Art, are all within a 5-minute walking
distance of each other, allowing visitors to see them quite easily.
After viewing the galleries, visitors can also immerse themselves
in hands-on cultural experiences such as fan illustration.
