The Children’s Museum is an interactive children's educational space attached to the National Folk Museum inside Gyeongbokgung (palace). The first floor holds the permanent exhibition and the second floor is used for special exhibitions. The permanent exhibition uses the familiar folktale of Simcheong to depict traditional Korean daily life and culture while the second-floor exhibition rotates every year. It is a good idea to make advance reservations so the staff can guide you through the sights and educational experiences.
