Charm of Seoul – What we wear, where we live

The first guest exhibition at the Museum of Ethnography comes straight from Seoul, South Korea. The exhibition at the Seoul Museum of History explores the history of the South Korean capital and links it to the present day, through the lens of changes in dress and home culture. It is important to note, however, that the exhibition, entitled Charm of Seoul – What we wear, where we live, is not primarily concerned with the history of the country, but with the Korean lifestyle, the similarities and differences between the old and the new, the continuation of traditions, and the partial modernisation of the past.
