About
Gwangju History & Folk Museum opened in 1987 as the largest museum operated by a city government in Korea. It was established for the purpose of preserving valuable Korean folk relics and putting them on exhibit to increase the public's cultural awareness. The museum displays the rich and colorful lifestyles and folk culture of Korea's southwestern regions including Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City. First floor of the museum displays food, clothing, housing, livelihood, and handicrafts while the second floor showcases folk games, traditional customs and folk religions. The museum also utilizes miniature and diorama displays to recreate scenes from the past. A total of eight videotech systems in the museum allow visitors to enjoy vivid demonstrations of the region's nine intangible cultural relics.
