Onyang Folk Museum

We were there at ten in the morning, a little cold but the weather improved and it got warmer with the walking that we had to do. We were supposed to be there for another reason but it turned out that the event got canceled. We ended up making the most of what we paid for the entrance fee (1000/pax, not that much since we have recently registered as local residents ^^,) Regular fee is 4000 for adults, I think. Hubby had to present our ID's.

We took the outdoors first since I didn't like the air when I first got in the main building. It smelled a bit too strong at first. We saw traditional houses, graves, epitaphs and statues (most of them as spirit guards of sort). There was also another building which has an art exhibit that has just opened and will run for the next three months (Old and New, April 23- July 27). 

The main building has three levels of spacious showrooms. If you are like me who likes to take the time in reading and taking in everything in a museum, it would take more than two hours just to cover the main building. We had no idea how the place looks like beforehand so we just took each level as it is. It starts with a first Birthday scene, wedding, death, parts of the house, hairstyles, shoes, accessories etc. on the first floor. Second floor was about agriculture, weaving, fishing, etc. By the time I found the third floor, it was already an overload for me. There were old coins, a wall of masks and whatnots. Since it was already lunch time and we were getting hungry, (not to mention that my son has already lost interest) I ended up skipping the most of the last floor.

I didn't see any elevator facility in the building. We had to take the staircase except between second to third which has a slope in between. There were also a small resto which at that time served 12,000 W meal which we did not take. We packed our boiled and planned on eating somewhere else.

Another note. After buying the ticket at the ticket booth, there should be an ajussi to take the other part of the ticket. He wasn't there when we got in the morning. You should have your other part of ticket with you just in case he asks if you happen to step out and need to get in again. 

Basically, scenery is quite simple but the indoor museum is educational. Limit the time for the kids with short attention span though.

The whole place will involve a lot of walking, walking and more walking as most traditional museums would, so bring at least some water. We spotted a vending machine outdoor that has cold drinks but no hot coffee or something hot drink. This can be good on warmer days.
