workplace, battlefield to music.

Learn more about how houses have changed over time by checking out kitchen utensils, furniture, and other household items, and by enjoying hands-on activities with house-building tools and Korean roof tiles called Giwa.



* pottery - See how pottery was made by exploring the pottery workshop and the kiln where pottery was baked. Also, check out the farming implements used by ancient people.



* Clothes - Take a close look at various types of clothing decorations and try on some traditional Korean clothes (even a gold crown). How were the clothes of the past different from the clothes you wear today?



* Wisdom - Learn about the wisdom that the people of the past lived by.



* War - See the fearsome weapons and tough armor that warriors once used in their battles, and explore the lives of the castle guards. How did the weapons change over time? Why do wars have to happen?
