[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Sookmyung Women's University Museum (Updated Jun)

#cityplaybook Located at Sookmyung Women's University in Seoul (100 Cheongpa-ro 47-gil, Cheongpa-dong, Yongsan District), the Sookmyung Women's University Museum offers a really interesting look at how people lived in Korea from the 1920s to the 1960s. This special exhibit, put together with the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, does a great job of showing what life was like during a big changing time in Korea. One of the coolest things to see is a fancy cabinet from a rich family's home in the 1930s. It's made with beautiful mother-of-pearl, and even has imported mirrors and Western-style handles. What's neat is that you can still see the tax paper stuck inside, proving how valuable it was back then! There's also an amazing 'Mother-of-Pearl Two-Layered Cabinet' that belonged to Park Heung-sik, who started the Hwashin Department Store. This whole cabinet is covered in mother-of-pearl. They say mother-of-pearl was even more expensive than gold back then, so this piece was super luxurious. As you walk around, you'll also spot a two-layered cabinet from early 1900s Pyongyang. It's covered in metal decorations, and the plum blossom design on its hinges tells you it's from after the Korean Empire started – a neat historical detail. The museum also has some heartwarming everyday items. There's a sturdy cabinet from the 1960s, which was part of a wedding gift. It was built strong to hold heavy dishes, showing how practical things were. Its glass doors even have the Korean word for "blessing" and butterfly patterns, which stood for a happy marriage. And for a touch of nostalgia, you'll see a classic American-made Singer sewing machine, a real symbol of modern times. It's fun to imagine that girls even had sewing classes in school back then! All in all, the Sookmyung Women's University Museum gives you a clear and detailed look at an important time in Korean history. You get to see everything from the lavish things rich people owned to the everyday items that shaped everyone's lives. It's definitely worth a visit if you're curious about Korean culture, history, and old crafts. #historicallandmarks #seoultrip #museum

This is a place that was featured on Ogiyahagi's YouTube channel. It's a long-established restaurant that specializes in gamjatang, and when you go in, you just choose the size: small, medium, or large. The meat and potatoes are very tender and the taste is just great. The gentle flavor permeates your stomach. The kimchi is also delicious. The final dish, bokkeumbap, was also delicious with a seaweed flavor. #Korean food #Korea information #Korea trip #Korea
