A large open-air living museum near Yongin, south of Seoul, that recreates the daily life of the late Joseon dynasty across a sprawling site of relocated traditional buildings. Its lanes pass farmhouses, aristocratic residences, a market street, workshops, and a Confucian school, staffed by artisans demonstrating crafts and folk customs. Scheduled shows include tightrope walking, equestrian martial arts, and a wedding reenactment. A frequent filming location for historical dramas, it offers an immersive full-day visit.
