Since we are quickly running out of weekends, Nick and I decided to spend this one doing some things that we have been meaning to do before we leave. Unfortunately, yesterday it poured buckets so we were unable to go up the Gupabal mountain that we've wanted to hike for a while. Today we decided to finally go to the National Museum of Korea. It was quite nice :)
The grounds themselves were pristine and amazing. The museum was gigantic, a soaring piece of architecture with amazing views of Namsan mountain and Seoul Tower. It was somewhat cloudy but still very muggy and hot out. The inside of the museum was just as lovely as the inside, all smooth and polished stones.
Nick and I enjoyed the archeological section. We checked out ancient pots and tools, weapons and bronze armor for horses and guards alike. Then we went on to check out the extensive silk screens, beautiful calligraphy art, and many beautiful depictions of Buddha. Last we viewed the private collections and it was wonderful seeing gorgeous statues and delicate porcelains.
