There were lots of small museums in Insadong Seoul, as I posted yesterday.
After watching the gallery of prominent painter Park Daesung, I walked along the road to Changdeokgung Palace.
I had posted several times on Changdeokgung palace before. There were villages around Changdeokgung Palace. I had found out the small museum for traditional building construction,
I heard that Korean traditional building had been built without designing blue prints. Traditional buildings in Korea had been built by a Architecture’s design in mind.
Do you believe that such a large size of palace main building was maid by one man’s feeling and design in mind without any papers.
Of course there was no metal materials in building traditional. The main reason the wooden building could’ve lasted for 1000 years was because of there being no metal nails.
The museum I had dropped by was formed by the last traditional master.
He had begun to learn how to build the house since graduation from the elementary school.
He had spent his whole life to learn and build the traditional buildings.
His name is Sin Eungsoo.
The almost of traditional buildings I had posted in my blog were rebuilt and fixed by him, Gyeongbockgung, Changdeokgung and Bulguksa temple an so on.
At the entrance of museum, his face photo was hung on the wall.
As entering into the museum, the small ground was decorated with some traditional stuffs.
One lady welcomed me. It was free to look around. I liked it, free lol.
She explained us on the museum so sincerely.
Then let's look around the inside of the museum.
There was a miniature of Gwanwhamun gate, the main entrance of Gyeongbokgugung.
There were the models of conjunction structure between wooden parts, in the corner.
This decoration part have been to be said the most unique style of Korean traditional architecture in Eastern Asia.
When you look at carefully the lotus flower blowing step by step.
It means that the faith have to grow step by step.
Besides of the miniature of the Gwangwhamun gate, there stood a bell.
The guiding lady explained it a choson traditional style Buddhist bell.
It was first time for me to hear that there were differences in Bell's style according to the ages.
Anyway you can bit the bell, and hear the sound.
The Bell was small, but the sound was awesome.
The sound lasted for several minutes. The very last part of the sound was amazing.
It seemed that the sound was making a sound.
There were so many instruments in other rooms as below.
They have collected so many instruments not only in Korea but also in Japan and China.
If you visit this small museum, the guiding lady will greet you with heart.
Thank you for reading
Beautiful .. wonderful pictures
Good work done well
Thank you for sharing your experience...
That Buddhist bell is really something! Very nice, I must say!
wow, I just heard the name of Park Daesung, glad to see the face of great artists, what carvings that exist in this museums, some of the work of Park Daesung or all of them. many thanks for sharing my friend
Beautiful photos and an interesting story!
WOW !!! what a great museum it is ! I really really impressed to see the antique craftsmanship of the woodwork. A museum is not only a combination of antique things but also present the historical culture of the country. This museum proved that Korea has gone to the summit of development but didn't forget his previous history and antique culture. I appreciate your job and honor the Korean civilization. There is no doubt that the museum is well organized but I think your presentation makes the museum very pretty. Thanks again

The minitiature of Gwanwhamun gate is really impressive on real full scale it must be even more impressive. nice post.
amazing photos!
I sometimes feel the more the technology grows, the more it makes people dependent on itself !!
We loose our thinking capability when we google everything !!!
Don't you think so ?
And these wooden carvings and structures are amazing !! Such talent should be saluted !!
Nice post as always :)
I like it, your article
I will probably never see this museum "live", so thanks for the guided tour.
Hiii My friend @slowwalker, All the shots you taken of *Traditional Korean Building Museum in Seoul are much attractive and lovely look. I appreciate to Mr Sin Eungsoo who spent his whole life to built such a lovely building, great artist he is. I also appreciate and support your efforts for providing an opportunity to see your wonderful stuff. Keep it up. take care.
sir,,,,@slowwalker
thanks for sharing your kind information of history and present the architecture,,,
the museum is a beautiful building with wood painted and becomes an interesting museum.
Once you commented that the culture of India and Korea have much similarities. Yes, I have recall that our great king Asoka the great had sent many people to east Asian countries for the preaching of Buddhism. From the gaint bell of your post, I think you people are mostly Bhudhist in religion. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful post with beautiful pictures of your beautiful cultures.
WOW. It's beautiful. I hope someday I will come to Korea
very interesting, in a small museum there are some paintings and objects that are very special, I like one of the objects that are there. really like the color and shape of the bell @slowwalker.
great trips and amazing photography I love to see it, have a nice day.
thank you for sharing
everything is so technical
The traditional way of builders is to design and build through their mind. One of the reasons is to protect their own "idea".
한옥은 언제봐도
아름답고 정이 갑니다
저절로 정이란 단어가 떠오르니 말입니다
Such a very nice place to visit! Thank you for sharing this my friend :)
a very famous building in korea, and become history, to be remembered all the time, successfully create @slowwalker
very nice photography & good architecture
Como dicen por mi tierra...... NA´GUARA
Que hermoso es todo. Las manos del artista son una obra de arte.
Ojalá y pudiese visitar este museo tan hermoso. Quedaría en mi mente de por vida.
Saludos y Gracias
Thank you for the post. Mr. Eungsoo looks like Mr. Oh of Korean tv series 'W'
a nice building, a characteristic of an area clearly visible from the building @slowwalker
It amazes me that it was all done before the technology we have today. These kind of architecture and creations make me think we used to be way more creative. Beautiful things are still being created, but still. It's hard to get your breath taken nowadays.
que maravilla me gusta mucho
Sin Eungsoo. Very creative person honor him and praise. The Museum is very interesting. Thank you for the photos and story. Loved it.
좋은 글 감사합니다. 항상 느끼는것인데 우리 선조들의 건축방식은 무엇인가 아기자기하면서도 독특하고 웅장한것 같습니다.
Lovely photograph
The reason for not using nails is because they'll eventually rust and lost strength over time? If so, that makes sense.
Nice
I felt like i was there! Such amazing architecture! The reverence really came through! Faith is an important thing to embrace as we walk through the duality!
@slowwaker, I want to see the museum directly, I hope you also have to go to Aceh to see Aceh tsunami museum,
The building is to commemorate the victims, whose names are inscribed on the walls of one of the museum's deepest spaces, and the survivors of the disaster.
In addition to its role as a memorial to the dead, the museum is also used as a refuge for such disasters in the future, including "refugee hills" for visitors if the tsunami occurs again
