National Museum of Korea

So on... Saturday (the real Saturday), my family plus my cousin's mom and grandparents went to the National Museum of Korea. It was actually really cool. 

The interior of the museum. 

There's no entrance fee to the museum, which is awesome. Getting an audio player thing is less than $3, which is also amazing. Even though it was a weekend, it wasn't busy at all. There was lots to see. I posted a few of my favorite pics below. Enjoy :)

I want these earrings. Look how intricate they are. No idea when they were made, but yeah. So pretty (and heavy)!

A shell mask. Cool huh? Made by some of the earliest settlements on the Korean peninsula. 

Part of the 한글 or "Korean Language" exhibit. Showing the 11,000+ character combinations that you can use in Korean. Lucky for Koreans, most of the combos don't even exist. Korean is actually pretty easy to learn; really systematic. The grammar is very different from English and the pronunciation is difficult, but reading is easy peasy. 

I was reaaally excited to see the celadon-ware. This was one of my favorites. A teapot. Check out the intricate design and the beautiful green color. They don't know how to make that color anymore =\ Lost over time. 

I think this was a bronze incense burner. 

A 10-story pagoda. Ridiculous, yeah? That's my dad looking up at it. SO TALL. 

These are my parents :) We're on the 3rd story of the museum. 

Yay end!
