Do you know Doneuimun Museum Village? It is located near Weride Jongno area, where you can look around historical Hanok, a Korean traditional houses.
Doneuimun is originally called as ‘Seodaemun’, which means a large door of West Hanyang.
In 1960s, there were a lot of private classes in this area. High-level private highschools were here so that there were at that time so the street was full of private classes.
In 1970s, high-level private schools started to move to Gangnam area so the private schools so that the private classes has disappeared but due to the new high buildings are constructed, a lot of restaurants are started to be constructed in 1990s.
Doneuimun Museum Village is free to enter but they are closed on Monday and January 1st. On other days, they opens from 10:00 to 19:00.
During the festival, there will be a flea market and many other festivals happening. The flea market is only available for people who do not have any business license.
You can also see a media art about 100 years of story in Seoul. You can see it from 11:00 am to 21:00 pm. If you like any media art, than you will like it!
