THE BUKCHON VILLAGE is one of the only few remaining spaces in Seoul where you can sit down with a friend and ponder over the history of Korea. Unlike museums where one FEELS the history of Korea through the eyes of some well educated researcher, places like Bukchon village enables everyday people to see and feel the passed essence of Korea through their own trusting eyes. Several interactive activities such as dye making, toy making, crafts, etc also gives one an opportunity to delve oneself deeper in the pastoral history of Kore
a. Apart from obvious lessons in history, one can also feel the Korean spirit of preserving the past in the way the old houses and buildings are preserved. Special among such buildings is a former ministerial house near the entry to Bukchon village which is now renovated and used as a full fledged working restaurant.
